In this short podcast, we learn how personalised social engineering attacks work. Hackers and scammers will try to scare, rush or embarrass you into doing something stupid like clicking on a malicious link in an email or downloading ransomware. The scammers might have done a little digging on social media to find some personal information about you or crawled your company website. They do this to give their scams the veneer of authenticity. Whenever you get an email, text message, telephone call or someone reaches out on social media and it just doesn’t feel right, stop. Keep calm. Don’t be tricked into responding immediately whatever the scammer says. Instead, go online to see if other people have been fooled by a similar scam or hack. Your IT department or tech support Service Desk will be able to advise you about anything suspicious. Don’t be the victim of a personalised cyberattack. Stay vigilant.
