A New Level of Sophistication in Social Engineering Attacks
At Cosmic, we recently encountered a social engineering attack that was more sophisticated than any we’ve seen before. The attackers managed to gain access to a client’s Microsoft 365 account and uploads a malicious PDF to the victims OneDrive. These files can appear legitimate, leading to a genuine share request being sent to our staff. This new method underscores the evolving tactics of cybercriminals and highlights the importance of vigilance and robust security measures.
