🆕: We've continued to monitor this campaign, and have discovered that at least one of the targeted companies has been claimed as a victim by #RansomHub threat actors. The threat actor is also using new, crafty domain names. See our updated blog post for the latest details: https://lnkd.in/dfQtnGpb
The GuidePoint Research and Intelligence Team (GRIT) has identified a highly sophisticated #SocialEngineering attack targeting 130+ enterprise organizations across the US. The tactics used in this campaign—including direct calls and SMS/text messaging—are particularly hard to detect given that they happen outside of the traditional visibility of security tools. Blog authors, Rui Ataide and Hermes Bojaxhi, Principal Security Consultants on GRIT share what you need to know: https://okt.to/ZiK3vx #Phishing #PhishingAttacks
