There is a proverb that states, “You can fool some people all the time and all the people some of the time.” This has been the foundation of numerous cyber security scams over the past 20 years because there is no such thing as 100% protection and people are naturally trusting. Despite years of security awareness training, cybercriminals continue to alter and reuse tried-and-true techniques to persuade us to open malware-filled email attachments and click harmful website links.
You can still use the majority of historical security advice from pretty much any year since the internet became widely used if you do a search for it. Use secure passwords, avoid opening attachments, and avoid clicking links from untrusted websites. All very common advise. Why then do people continue to fall for updated versions of the same con games that have been around for at least a decade? However, from the viewpoint of a cybercriminal, why fix something that isn’t broken? Instead, they adapt, automate, work together, and improve what already works. excellent advise for any company!
