Cracking Phishing: From Breach to Bulletproof Security

February 21, 20241 min read

Let's delve into it. The attack commenced with a classic phishing email. These phishing emails are exceptionally convincing, and I wouldn't fault anyone for falling for them. The infected laptop then made its way to the IT department. Yes, I think this is not good. It was compromised by the hackers. However, upon examining the laptop memory dump, we identified which resources were exposed.

In the wake of such an attack, collaboration across all teams becomes imperative. We monitored the hacker's progress on the server while simultaneously deploying sensors across the domain. Monitoring traffic spikes revealed that the hackers were targeting your main grid control network. Our immediate priority was to thwart their advances. Everyone was mobilized to shut them out, blocking all command and control domains, disabling implants, retrieving crucial data, and purging all evidence while containing the damage.

Our teams are prepared to handle all communications about the attack with your shareholders and customers. Though the hackers may attempt again, rest assured, you'll be ready next time.
