Phishing Stampede
Phishing campaigns still work, and are targeting elected officials and election systems, as well as election workers and volunteers, Levin said.
“Businesses must be aware that election-themed social content is prime fodder to bait unsuspecting employees into a phishing attack, since it can often evoke a highly emotional response, which can lower people’s guard against clicking suspicious links,” Matthews said. “To avoid the risk from ransomware or phishing, organizations must act now to educate employees on new social dangers.”
