TEK It UP I.T. Services

An example of the now rampant COVID-19 phishing emails that are pretty much a daily occurrence now. As you can see they put a bit of effort in grammar and design, using the lure of a $100 gift card for completing the survey #phishing #phishingalert #phishingscam

Not so subtle... these phishers didn't bother to hide the URL

Oh man I got a double whammy this morning on my [spam] folder: a subpoena from the Department of Justice and an Invoice that I must pay right now (or else?)... #spammonday

It was a bit challenging but very rewarding. Getting this one means a lot personally.

I've seen some convincing phishing emails and some bad, this one definitely ranks top 3 on crappy grammar and zero persuasion... except for the very specific 100 hours expiration - I better act fast

I was reading about threat actors (bad guys that carry on cyber attacks) and the phrase "institutional knowledge" really poped... this relates to attacks done by insiders and very little people pay attention to them, even care about mitigating this very serious risk. Somebody with an extensive knowledge of how your business works does not need much sophistication or super hacking skills Hollywood-style (most b.s. BTW), only needs to know enough like when Karen from Accounting leaves for a coffee break and forgets to lock her computer screen or if Bill from Sales has been sick for a week and left his password on a sticky note as he always does. Food for thought...
