As the digital world continues to grow, so do the threats within it. Cybercrime is no longer just an online inconvenience—it’s a serious issue affecting real lives, families, and communities. In recognition of Cyber Awareness Month this October, The Cyber Helpline is launching a crucial campaign to raise £50,000 to expand and enhance our vital services for victims of online harm.

Traditional cybersecurity protocols quickly become out of date as cyberattacks and criminals evolve. Organizations are constantly on the lookout for new measures to prevent these attacks and keep their business and client data secure.

Some of the biggest and most successful businesses around the globe adopt a security-first strategy right from day one to ensure sustainability in growth. Regarding scalability, faster time to market, or competitive advantages, security must sit right at the top of business strategy. Security ensures that regular business operations and innovations remain uninterrupted pre or post-production.

A new “so-phish-ticated” attack uses phone calls, social engineering, lookalike domains, and impersonated company VPN sites to gain initial access to a victim network. This is one of the most advanced initial access attacks I’ve seen. Security analysts at GuidePoint Security have published details on a new attack that tricks users into providing the attacker with credentialed access.
