Pay Raise Phishing Attacks

KnowBe4 have recently released details about a new form of Phishing Attack. Users are receiving emails from HR which are offering better benefits or pay rises. That’s something we’d all like just before the holidays.

These emails normally have a link which looks like a SharePoint document, but in fact it is a phishing landing page.

Quite often phishing attacks spoof email addresses. At first glance it looks like it’s come from a legitimate source, maybe your HR manager. If you receive an email or phone call you feel is suspicious it would pay to call the person appearing to have sent the message. They will be able to confirm if they actually sent it to you.
