Hackers are always coming up with new threats to your security. Make sure you are up to date on the latest scams so you can protect your data.

Phishing is a type of email attack used by cybercriminals to steal valuable data – you may think you know about phishing, but there are new scams coming out all the time. Find out the latest threats.

No matter what kind of business you own, protecting both you and your customers’ data is critical. You don’t want to be in the news for a big data breach, or have to tell your customers that their data was compromised!

Cybercriminals are constantly developing new ways to steal valuable data like credit card information, account logins, and anything else that they can sell.

Phishing is one of the most commonly used hacking methods. Cybercriminals send an email that looks legitimate but is designed to get you to reveal secure information.

Brand Impersonation
The most common phishing attack involves the sender impersonating a reputable brand, like Chase or Apple. The email will prompt the recipient to click through to a website that looks real but is designed to steal your login details.

Business Email Compromises
Using and email that looks like it is coming from a coworker, usually an executive like the company president. They pretend it’s urgent to trick the recipient into thinking that their boss wants access to secure information, and then steal that data to use later.

They also use phony subject lines that can trick your staff into sharing their credentials.

As cybercriminals develop increasingly sophisticated schemes to trick businesses, you need a security team that can keep up.
