One of our customers was almost a victim of a malicious malware attack. The phishing email shown below arrived in his email.
The malware looked legitimate, and as the company often received courier notifications, 6 employees clicked on the link embedded in the message.
The good news was that Computer Culture had installed a high-end firewall appliance which prevented the user from downloading the payload.
This attack also gave us an opportunity to test the same malware with our managed antivirus. AV Defender came through with flying colours, blocking the user from accessing the link.
The attempted hack was yet another example of just vigilant we all need to be and the necessity to be suspicious of mail that provides a link that encourages you to click on.
