Cyber espionage is one of the most advanced types of cyberattacks, often involving highly sophisticated and carefully planned techniques.
For our #CyberSecMonth campaign, Andrej Zieger ( @dfncert @DFN ) tells us why it's something we all need to be aware of, and how we can protect ourselves and our organisations.
Spear-phishing is a more targeted form of #phishing, where attackers focus on specific individuals and craft personalised emails, based on gathered information.
For #CyberSecMonth, we hear from João Machado (#Cybersecurity Analyst at FCT -FCCN) how #SpearPhishing works, how widespread and damaging these attacks have become, how to prevent and counter them, and some real world examples: https://connect.geant.org/2024/10/15/spear-phishing-hack-the-mind-and-access-the-network
