Do you know what an .xlsb file is? Hackers do and they are using them in phishing attacks.
Phishing attacks have been high on the cyber news cycle this week – with warnings about various groups, not involved in the Russia Ukraine Conflict, taking advantage of the confusion and sending malware and malicious links out by email.
I wrote a longer article this week on the Octagon blog about the “cyber security gap” that all organisations face – one person company, small and large businesses or mega-corp – the Zero Day attack, no matter what cyber security defences you have in place. In it I outline the issue and several steps everyone can take to help plug this gap. I also touch briefly on the “insider threat”.
Cars feature in the “Because It’s Friday” post this week – but you can bet that this afternoon I will find another story I could have featured!
This is a weekly round-up of the articles from Smart Thinking Solutions, our specialist cybersecurity, governance and compliance web site.
The articles are mostly quick reads to give you an overview of the cybersecurity threat landscape facing businesses today, with links to the sources. Many of the posts have action points or top tips to help you navigate these threats to your organisations.
Sometimes they are just there to make you smile!
