Analyst Notes
As this campaign was carried out entirely over email, Binary Defense recommends using caution when entering credentials into documents or links received over email. Additionally, Binary Defense recommends for the use of a 24/7 SOC monitoring solution like Binary Defense’s Security Operations Task Force to better detect these threats when they may occur.
