Hackers Outsmart URL Protection Tools: Is Your Inbox Safe?
Hackers are now exploiting URL protection tools to deliver phishing links, targeting “hundreds of companies.” Cybersecurity researchers highlight that traditional email security tools struggle to detect these sophisticated attacks. The best defense? A multilayered security approach and employee education on the latest email-borne threats.
Hot Take:
“I swear, hackers are like raccoons—they’ll find a way into anything if you leave it out long enough. This time, they’ve managed to hoodwink URL protection tools. It’s like finding out your home security system is actually a revolving door for burglars!”
Key Points:
- Hackers are abusing URL protection tools to deliver phishing links.
- The campaign likely started in mid-May 2024 and has targeted hundreds of companies.
- Attackers gained access to email inboxes via business email compromise (BEC) attacks.
- Phishing URLs are disguised as DocuSign and password reset reminders.
