According to a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ic3.gov\/media\/2019\/190610.aspx\">FBI public service\u00a0announcement<\/a>, hackers are incorporating website certificates (third-party verification that a site is secure) when sending potential victims phishing emails that imitate trustworthy companies or email contacts.<\/p>\n<p>These phishing schemes are used to acquire sensitive logins or other information by luring people to a malicious website that looks secure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can You Still Count On HTTPS?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The \u201cs\u201d in the https along with a lock icon is supposed to give us an indication that a website is secure. And your employees may have heard this in their Security Awareness Training. All training will now need to be updated to include this latest criminal tactic.<\/p>\n<h2>What Should You Do?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Be Suspicious of Email Names and Content<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The FBI recommends that users not only be wary of the name on an email but be suspicious of https links in emails. They could be fake and lead you to a virus-laden website. Users should always question email content to ensure authenticity.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Look for misspellings or the wrong domain, such as an address that ends in \u201ccom\u201d when it should be \u201corg.\u201d And, unfortunately, you can no longer simply trust that a website with \u201chttps\u201d and a lock icon is secure.<\/li>\n<li>If you receive a suspicious email that contains a link from a known contact, call the sender or reply to the email to ensure that the content is legitimate.<\/li>\n<li>If you don\u2019t know the sender of the email, the FBI warns that you shouldn\u2019t respond to it.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t click links in any emails from unknown senders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>If You Run A Business Ask Your IT Service Company About New-School Security Awareness Training For Your Employees<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This will give your staff the latest information about cyber threats and exploits. They\u2019ll learn what they need to know to avoid being victimized by phishing and other scams.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Use New-School Security Awareness Training?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your employees are the weakest link when it comes to cybersecurity. You need current and frequent cybersecurity training, along with random Phishing Security Tests that provide a number of remedial options if an employee falls for a simulated phishing attack.<\/p>\n<p>New-School Security Awareness Training provides both pre-and post-training phishing security tests that show who is or isn\u2019t completing prescribed training. And you\u2019ll know the percentage of employees who are phish-prone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New-School Security Awareness Training\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sends Phishing Security Tests<\/strong> to your employees to take on a regular basis.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trains your users with the world\u2019s largest library of security awareness training content<\/strong>, including interactive modules, videos, games, posters and newsletters, and automated training campaigns with scheduled reminder emails.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Phishes your users with best-in-class, fully automated simulated phishing attacks<\/strong>, and thousands of templates with unlimited usage, and community phishing templates.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Offers Training Access Levels<\/strong>: I, II, and III with an \u201calways-fresh\u201d content library. You\u2019ll get\u00a0web-based, on-demand, engaging training that addresses the needs of your organization whether you have 50, 500 or 5,000 users.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Provides<\/strong> <strong>automated follow-up emails<\/strong> to get them to complete their training. If they fail, they\u2019re automatically enrolled in follow-up training.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Uses Advanced Reporting<\/strong> to monitor your users\u2019 training progress, and provide your phish-prone percentage so you can see it reduce as your employees learn what they need to know.\u00a0 It shows stats and graphs for both training and phishing, ready for your management to review.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Your employees will get new learning experiences that are engaging, fun and effective. It includes \u201cgamification\u201d training, so they can compete against their peers while learning how to keep your organization safe from cyber attacks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Add New-School Security Awareness Training To Your Current Employee Training<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The use of https is just the latest trick that hackers are using to fool victims into falling for malicious emails. Hackers have many more \u201cup their sleeves.\u201d This is why regular, up-to-date New School Security Awareness Training is so important for any organization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hackers Now Using HTTPS To Trick Victims Via Phishing Scams Everything you\u2019ve heard about the safety of https sites is now in question.
