Cybersecurity Awareness for Employees

In an effort to further enhance a company’s cyber defences, we want to highlight a common cyber-attack that everyone should be aware of – phishing.

“Phishing” is the most common type of cyber attack that affects organizations like ours. Phishing attacks can take many forms, but they all share a common goal – getting you to share sensitive information such as login credentials, credit card information, or bank account details.

Although we maintain controls to help protect our networks and computers from cyber threats, we rely on you to be our first line of defence.

We’ve outlined a few different types of phishing attacks to watch out for:

  • Phishing: In this type of attack, hackers impersonate a real company to obtain your login credentials. You may receive an e-mail asking you to verify your account details with a link that takes you to an imposter login screen that delivers your information directly to the attackers.

  • Spear Phishing: Spear phishing is a more sophisticated phishing attack that includes customized information that makes the attacker seem like a legitimate source. They may use your name and phone number and refer to [Your Company Name] in the e-mail to trick you into thinking they have a connection to you, making you more likely to click a link or attachment that they provide.

  • Whaling: Whaling is a popular ploy aimed at getting you to transfer money or send sensitive information to an attacker via email by impersonating a real company executive. Using a fake domain that appears similar to your client (hallandleepartnerss.com), they look like normal emails from a high-level official of the company, typically the management, and ask you for sensitive information (including usernames and passwords).

  • Shared Document Phishing: You may receive an e-mail that appears to come from file-sharing sites like Dropbox or Google Drive alerting you that a document has been shared with you. The link provided in these e-mails will take you to a fake login page that mimics the real login page and will steal your account credentials.

To avoid these phishing schemes, please observe the following email best practices:

  • Do not click on links or attachments from senders that you do not recognize. Be especially wary of .zip or other compressed or executable file types.
  • Do not provide sensitive personal information (like usernames and passwords) over email.
  • Watch for email senders that use suspicious or misleading domain names.
  • Inspect URLs carefully to make sure they’re legitimate and not imposter sites.
  • Do not try to open any shared document that you’re not expecting to receive.
  • If you can’t tell if an email is legitimate or not, please forward it to [email protected].
  • Be especially cautious when opening attachments or clicking links if you receive an email containing a warning banner indicating that it originated from an external source.

It is essential for everyone to keep each other safe from cyber threats by following these tips. Hope you find them useful!

    Hey Terese,

    I’m sorry to hear that. The key takeaway is to always have a backup of your WordPress site and cybersecurity measures such as Antivirus with Two-way firewall and port scanning features that could notify you for any attack attempts. We can’t really stop the hackers from trying, but we at least need to have countermeasures to prevent these attacks. Feel free to email me so that we can have in-depth conversation about this topic.
