Email cybersecurity firm Avanan said it has seen a sudden and significant uptick in Russian-based phishing attacks and credential harvesting over the past few days targeting U.S. and European customers.
The lures used in these emails do not tend to differ from the kinds normally seen in the phishing realm, such as impersonating CEOs or internal employees sending “urgent” documents or spoofed Microsoft 365 emails asking you to click on a link to keep your account active. The main difference Avanan is seeing in the data is “the magnitude, not the methods” of such attacks.
“I do think or at least suspect we’ll start seeing maybe new methods to bypass Office 365 [protections], said Freidrich. “I wouldn’t be surprised if hackers have kept some of their more sophisticated obfuscation methods for an event like this, and this is really where our analysts are spending their time right now.” ================================================================= http://www.wavesys.com/products/embassy%C2%AE-remote-administration-server-tpm-management
