Spotting Spear Phishing Attackers try to trick users into thinking they landed on a well-known internal company portal. The attacker identifies a third-party service that a company uses, and mimics it with fake versions of it. Why is this difficult to detect? • Employees expect to see emails from these sources as internal only, and will not pay attention to signs of phishing. • Some company portals are accessed from the internet—making hackers’ lives even easier to spoof them. In the below example, we can see a fake Okta login page. It contains all visual elements and the company’s logo (and its even SSL encrypted), just waiting for the user to enter his or her credentials (an action done several times a day). A large portion of phishing campaigns sent to companies are actually an impersonation of their own brand. Cyber Defense eMagazine – December 2021 Edition 116 Copyright © 2021, Cyber Defense Magazine.

ATO Detection Account takeover benefits from the account’s credibility and history with their own company and external organizations that they do business with. A fraudster who has access to an account can cause tremendous damage. Why is this difficult to detect? • With ATO, the email is coming straight from the vendor’s IP and the actual sender’s mailbox. • The attacker will read the email communications, and wait for the perfect time to inject a message for fund transfer. He will usually reply back with a signature that’s identical to the vendor’s and will ask for you to transfer money to other bank accounts. Blacklisting email security vendor IP addresses Hackers blacklist email security vendors’ IP addresses. They create phishing websites, being aware that their target is highly fortified, and they assume email security solutions will scan their website before it will reach the end user. Why is this difficult to detect? By fingerprinting the different email security solutions, a hacker can understand what the IP addresses are of the email security provider services. Once fingerprinted, they can easily blacklist that IP. Recommendations 1) When selecting an email security solution, an organization should consider a service that identifies all threats before they arrive in a user’s inbox. The ideal solution should provide various detection layers to identify advanced phishing attacks as well as ATO, malware, 0-days and more. Look for services that: • Dynamically scan 100% of emails and their embedded content before they arrive to the user’s inbox without affecting user experience • Use technology to deterministically provide verdicts on malware and not rely on behavioral analysis • Leverage image analysis Image recognition of URLs • Can detect account takeover detection Cyber Defense eMagazine – December 2021 Edition 117 Copyright © 2021, Cyber Defense Magazine.
