Have you ever wondered what happens to an employee's account when they leave a company? You might think they’re immediately deactivated, but that’s not always the case. Imagine this: someone leaves the organization, but their account lingers on—active, unnoticed, and vulnerable. Scary, right? This is what we call cyber ghosting, and it’s becoming a major cybersecurity challenge. Ghost accounts—those left active after employees depart—create a hidden risk. Hackers love these dormant accounts because they’re perfect for sneaking into a company’s network without raising alarms. And given the rise in cyber threats, including 500 million attacks reported in India in just the first quarter of 2024 (Source: Indian Express), it’s a threat no organization can afford to ignore.   Why Are Ghost Accounts Such a Big Deal? Imagine a hacker finds a ghost account that still has access to critical systems. They quietly infiltrate, disguised as a

Imagine this: you're sitting at home, your phone rings, and the caller ID shows it's your bank. You’ve had a long day, and the voice on the other end sounds urgent, telling you that there’s been suspicious activity on your account. Without a second thought, you start verifying your details, thinking you’re doing the right thing. But here's the twist—what if that voice wasn't your bank at all? It was a scammer, impersonating your trusted institution, all to steal your sensitive information. Welcome to the world of voice phishing, or "vishing"—a growing cyber threat that takes advantage of our trust, one phone call at a time.   What Exactly is Vishing? Vishing is a form of social engineering where attackers use phone calls to deceive victims into sharing personal information, such as credit card details, bank account numbers, or even passwords. Unlike email phishing,

Email spoofing is a widespread cybercrime that involves sending emails from a forged sender address to deceive recipients into believing the message is from a trusted source. This tactic is frequently used by cybercriminals to carry out a range of malicious activities, including data theft, spreading malware, and financial fraud. Spoofing poses significant risks to individuals and organizations alike, with attackers exploiting weaknesses in email security protocols to impersonate legitimate entities. How Email Spoofing Works Email spoofing occurs because the core email protocols (such as SMTP) do not natively authenticate the sender’s identity. This flaw allows attackers to forge email headers, making it appear as though the email is coming from a trusted source, such as a colleague or a reputable organization. Once the email reaches the recipient’s inbox, it’s processed according to the sender’s details, including the "From" field, which can

The rise of identity-driven attacks presents a significant challenge for cybersecurity professionals. It becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish between legitimate user behavior and malicious behavior once adversaries have access to valid user credentials. In this blog, we will explore the identity threat landscape by examining seven common identity-based attacks, their mechanisms, and the alarming statistics surrounding them.   What Are Identity-Based Attacks? Identity-based attacks involve stealing a person’s personal data or digital identity for malicious purposes.
