You can prevent being the victim of a spear phishing attack by:
Never clicking a link to a service that you use that is sent via email. If you get a realistic-looking email from your bank, PayPal, Ebay or your email provider, make sure you log into your account via your browser, NOT by clicking the link you were sent.
If someone you know sends you a link to a specific page or document, check in with that person via a new email, or by phone or by text, to verify that that person did indeed send you a link.
What could happen if a candidate or politician holding office were compromised by a spear phishing attack? How far could it spread? How do we know that hasn't already happened?
Perhaps it already has. http://thehill.com/policy/cybersecurity/369473-russian-hackers-move-to-new-political-targets …pic.twitter.com/oRZ4aTDEr4
Are there things that we see going on in Gov’t right now could be the result of a Spear phishing attack? We believe there is. We've been working on a very important finding. This thread is our lead in to that piece. We are under attack. We have to protect ourselves.
Great advice!
Thank you, Mike. Once again, you’ve made us aware of Russia’s attack on US!
The only solid advice here is to use 2 factor authentication, such as the Google authenticator app. This will keep an account safe even after a password is compromised.
Just got one from Apple this morning (1/21/18) saying I had 2 IP addresses & I needed to click the button to get help!
I got one from Apple once too.
