For a long time, enterprises carrying a large amount of sensitive data have been the primary targets of attacks by black industry gangs. Based on years of experience in email protection, Coremail found that the two major attack methods used by black industry gangs for the security of corporate email accounts are brute force cracking and phishing email attacks .
1. The security status of enterprise mailboxes
01. Use weak passwords
The use of weak passwords by corporate employees gives black gangs an opportunity to gain account access through brute force cracking. Attackers will even use leaked username and password information to try to log in to other websites or applications.
02. Enterprise employees have weak safety awareness
The security awareness of enterprise employees is uneven. Some enterprise employees have weak security awareness , and it is difficult to distinguish carefully disguised phishing emails, and they are easy to become victims of phishing emails. A series of phishing emails such as "financial subsidies", "system notifications" and "bill invoices" keep up with current events. Black production gangs use employees' expectations and concerns for such information to induce employees to click, thereby stealing sensitive information and defrauding.
2. The chain reaction of account hacking
Account theft is a low-cost and high-efficiency method. Black gangs use brute force cracking, phishing emails and other mainstream account theft methods to steal email accounts, and then use the stolen accounts to conduct illegal operations.
-
Use the stolen account as a breakthrough to monitor and crawl corporate communication information;
-
Pretending to be a user with a stolen account and sending fake business emails to defraud;
-
Use the stolen account to carry out phishing email attacks on the domain .
In recent years, the phishing methods of black production teams have become more diversified and intelligent. Advanced threat emails incorporate emerging technologies to bypass the detection of anti-spam, anti-phishing, and anti-virus engines and reach the mailboxes of target groups. Once an enterprise employee is recruited, it will cause serious harm such as sensitive data leakage and economic loss.
In fact, account theft and phishing attacks are a chain reaction, interlocking and breaking through the security defense of corporate mailboxes. Therefore, anti-phishing and anti-theft accounts need to form a closed security loop in order to minimize the problem of account theft.
Faced with such a raging problem of account theft, how can enterprises take the initiative to defend against the threat of email account theft? When the email account is suspected of being stolen, how should the administrator know in time ? From what aspects can we judge and analyze whether the account has been stolen? When the account is frequently attacked, how should the administrator track the source ?
