⚠️ Not every website is what it seems. Cybercriminals design malicious sites to look legitimate — but their real goal is to steal your data, install malware, or spread disinformation. The guide “Malicious Sites” explains: 🔹 What malicious websites are and how they work 🔹 Examples — phishing portals, fake download sites, disinformation pages 🔹 How to protect yourself — antivirus, browser warnings, checking URLs, and updates 🔹 Browser best practices — HTTPS, password managers, secure extensions 🔹 Extra defenses — clearing cookies, enabling 2FA, and using private browsing Awareness is the first step toward protection. Employees who can recognize red flags are far less likely to fall victim to phishing or malware campaigns. 👉 Read the guide and strengthen your ability to spot and avoid malicious sites. #cybersecurity #awareness #phishing #infosec #onlinesecurity

🚨 New "ClickFix" Exploit Targets Microsoft Users Across Platforms! 🚨 A new phishing campaign is exploiting a known Windows vulnerability, putting users at risk of malware infection. Here’s what you need to know: • The "ClickFix" campaign uses malicious advertising malvertising to trick users into downloading remote access trojans like SectopRAT and Lumma Stealer. • It cleverly disguises itself as a legitimate "Fix it" or "Quick fix" solution for common software errors, making the phishing attempts highly convincing. • This is a cross-platform threat! While the exploit targets a Windows vulnerability CVE-2024-21412 , the initial malicious ads appear on search engines for Mac users too, showing the attack's broad scope. • The end goal is credential theft and financial gain for the attackers, putting both personal and corporate data in serious danger. Staying vigilant is no longer enough. This multi-platform approach shows how attackers are evolving their tactics. How is your organization enhancing user awareness training to combat these increasingly sophisticated social engineering attacks?

Just because you use a Mac doesn’t mean you’re automatically safe from cyber threats. While macOS includes some built-in protections, relying on them alone creates a false sense of security. Without regular software updates, antivirus tools and cautious online behavior, your Mac can still fall victim to malware, phishing attacks and other cybersecurity risks. Secure your system before it's too late. 🛡️ #antivirus #safebrowsing #cybersecurity #cybersecurityawareness #vulnalysis #knowyournet #explore #explorepage

What if I told you the most dangerous phishing attacks don’t look suspicious? ChainLink phishing is the new stealth threat. It uses trusted services like Google Drive or Dropbox to funnel you to fake login pages — stealing credentials before you even realise. Why it’s tricky: ⚠️ Comes from trusted domains ⚠️ Passes email filters ⚠️ Bypasses antivirus The front line is now the browser, not just email. Staff training helps, but make sure your IT support is watching where the action really happens. Ever clicked something that seemed fine… until it wasn’t? https://lnkd.in/edy3iVVb #CyberSecurity #PhishingAwareness #ChainLinkPhishing

Phishing is the simplest hack, and still the most effective. ❌ Fake emails fool employees ❌ Credentials stolen in clicks ❌ Malware rides in quietly We’ve worked with clients who thought security = firewalls, only to find phishing bypassed everything. Here’s how we fix it: ✅ Train teams to spot red flags ✅ MFA as default, not optional ✅ Smart email filtering 👉 Save this, and test your own inbox. 💬 Be honest, have you ever almost clicked one? #CyberSecurity #Phishing #WebSecurity #TechLeadership
