https://bit.ly/3S6mQ94 - 🚨 Phishing emails are a major concern in today's digital world. To identify them, watch out for alarming subject lines containing words like "Urgent" or "Action Required." These are often used to create a sense of urgency, prompting impulsive reactions. However, be aware that legitimate businesses might also use similar language in genuine emergencies. #PhishingEmails #CyberSecurityAwareness 🔍 Another key indicator is the email's domain name. Phishing attempts often use public domain addresses or subtly misspelled versions of legitimate domains. Unusual top-level domains or additional subdomains can also be red flags. Always verify suspicious domains by contacting the company directly or comparing them with previous correspondence. #EmailSafety #DigitalLiteracy 👥 Greetings in phishing emails can be either too generic or overly personalized. While legitimate companies often use your first name, phishing emails might use general terms like "Dear Customer" or include too much personal information to establish false trust. A balanced approach in greetings is a sign of genuine communication. #OnlineSecurity #PhishingTactics ✏️ Grammar and spelling mistakes are common in phishing emails, as they are often hastily written and by non-native speakers. In contrast, legitimate companies ensure their communication is error-free. #EmailScams #GrammarCheck 🔗 Be cautious of emails containing suspicious links or attachments. These could lead to malicious websites or download malware onto your device. Legitimate companies rarely ask for sensitive information via email. #LinkSafety #MalwarePrevention 🚫 Phishing emails may also create a false sense of urgency, pressuring you to act quickly without verification. They might threaten account closure or charges if immediate action is not taken. #UrgencyScam #ScamAwareness 🎁 Unrealistic offers, like unexpected sweepstakes winnings or inheritances from unknown relatives, are classic phishing tactics. These emails may ask for personal information or payment to access these fictitious rewards. #FraudAlert #TooGoodToBeTrue 💡 When encountering a potential phishing email, it's crucial not to click on any links or provide information. Educating yourself about different types of phishing scams can help you stay vigilant and discern genuine emails from fraudulent ones.

Don't Get Scammed

Don’t Get Scammed

Don’t get scammed. I recently got an email -supposedly from PayPal. It told me my account had been restricted because there was a login attempt from an unknown device. Asking me to reset my account access, the email wanted me to click the link to reset my account or download the app. “Your account will be locked and your account limited,” it warns. Several links are given to reset the account or…

Reposted from @realjnolan Let’s address these fake record label emails going around, shall we? In this one, we’ve got someone posing as Arnold Taylor from “Billion Dollar Baby Ent” (he’s really from SCMG, but close enough I guess). The imposter is offering a record deal that includes graphic design & professional services for a $300 deposit that will be refunded after accepting the deal…WHAT?!?! Don’t be fooled by this garbage. And for any artist trying to build your own movement, get The Pen Game Portfolio Vol 2 on realjnolan.com (link in bio) so you can get your career going without worrying about these types of “opportunities” impacting your daily process. • • #realjnolan #pengameportfolio #billiondollarbabyentertainment #recordlabelscam #emailscam #scamalert #musicbusiness #musicentrepreneur #diymusician #independentartist #recorddeal https://www.instagram.com/p/CcDuUinpjJl/?utm_medium=tumblr

What Is A Business Email Compromise?

With the world depending more than ever on virtual services, scam artists are always finding ways to get access to easy money.

Business Email Compromise (BEC), also known as Email Account Compromise (EAC) is a scam that targets specifically all of those organizations that regularly perform wire transfer payments and/or have foreign suppliers. It is known to be one of the most financially damaging online crimes; it is extremely profitable for cyber-criminals by doing only a minimum effort. Nowadays, communications for both personal and professional purposes are done through email, making BEC scams very popular.

As any other entrepreneurs, hackers are now researching before launching a scam. So instead of spending hours sending random emails to get a minimum profit; now they carefully select a prospect that will deliver a greater bounty. Attackers often impersonate CEO or executives, and go way beyond common methods to steal information.

The Cyber-criminals use keylogger malware or phishing methods sent through an email; these tools compromise business emails, allowing them to hijack transactions by sending alternative payment details, to finally routing the payment to the attackers. In other words, these schemes compromise official business email accounts to conduct unauthorized fund transfers. According to the FBI, there are 5 types of BEC frauds:

Bogus Invoice Scheme

CEO Fraud

Account Compromise

Data Theft

Attorney Impersonation

Cyber-criminals will target companies big and small, so it is smart to educate your employees about ways to prevent BEC scams and all other similar attacks. Today we live in a world that relies almost entirely on network connections, making businesses more vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Fortunately, Whitelabel ITSolutions has the best security services available in the market, to keep your company from being scammed from these and other security threats.

HOME YOGA STUDIOS: Beware of emails asking if you accept credit cards. These scammers have A LOT of time on their hands to spend wasting yours in arranging schedules, etc. Asking them for details from them does not deter them, but they will not provide you with a phone number or a credit card number. They request expensive services and agree to the price, but they don't sign or pay. Instead they can potentially get your name and physical address from the agreement, then ask for this "favor" for the driver. Yoga teachers who teach from home, require a phone number and speak to your clients and still be careful. Thank you. #scam #emailscam #privateyogateacher #atlantascam

https://bit.ly/3Rq0Dme - 🌐 The hospitality industry faces a new cyber threat: the "Inhospitality" malspam campaign, using social engineering to deploy password-stealing malware. Attackers lure hotel staff with emails about service complaints or information requests, leading to malicious payload links. #CyberThreat #HotelIndustrySecurity 🔍 Sophos X-Ops identified this trend, similar to tactics used during the US tax season. Attackers engage with hotel staff through emotionally charged scenarios, from lost items to accessibility needs, only sending malware links after initial contact. #SophosResearch #SocialEngineering 💼 Emails vary from violent attack allegations to queries about disability accommodations. Once staff respond, attackers reply with links claiming to contain relevant "documentation," which are actually malware in password-protected files. #CyberAttackTactics #HotelSafety 📧 Common traits in these emails include urgent requests and emotionally manipulative narratives. Examples range from lost cameras with sentimental value to issues in booking for disabled family members, all designed to elicit quick responses from hotel staff. #MalspamCampaign #EmailScams 🔐 The malware, often a variant of Redline or Vidar Stealer, is difficult to detect. It's hidden in large, password-protected files and often carries valid or counterfeit signatures to bypass security scans. #MalwareAnalysis #CyberDefense 💻 Upon execution, the malware connects to a Telegram URL for command-and-control, stealing information like browser-saved passwords and desktop screenshots. It doesn't establish persistence, running once to extract data before quitting. #CybersecurityThreat #DataProtection 🛡️ Sophos has identified over 50 unique malware samples and reported them to cloud providers. With low detection rates on Virustotal, Sophos has published indicators of compromise and ensures detection in their products.

Scam emails are tricksters who are focused on taking from us, and we need to be vigilant and have an awareness. The 1st photo is the email as first seen, the second is opened, and the 3rd is the name of email opened where it gives some evidence that the name on the email, does not relate to the address of email; and what is more pertinent, the letters at the end, .ru is Russia. #scam #scammers #awareness #vigilant #tricksters #australia #australians #greynomads #retirees #retired #emailscam https://www.instagram.com/p/B5bV-6kJL0p/?igshid=jydkxh1n7koz

SCAM: Heads up #adultindustry folks. Our @AmericanSexPodcast email was phished from various email addresses including Director Greg, Director Raymond, Director Fredrick, Jacob Smith & William Wooden. THIS IS A #SCAM & not from the CEO of @evilangelvideo. Do not fall for this & please pass this on (there is a shareable version on my Twitter) ⁣ ⁣ These scammers seem to be phishing for your nudes & personal information which is scary. There are also scammers out there that say they have your nudes or videos of you watching "embarrassing" adult videos that try to use that to blackmail you. Not sure if these emails are related but they sure are fishy. (Also, no clue how they got our email address? Other adresses attached to our email included legit adult industry agents-- so not too smart on their part!)⁣ ⁣ #adultmodel #emailscam #phishing #phishingscam #beware #shadymofos #pantsonfire https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz8j1RPBA-Y/?igshid=5pfq91q1pvod
