∗∗∗ Social Engineering nach Mailbombing ∗∗∗

Rapid7 hat vor Kurzem einen Blogbeitrag zur Vorgehensweise einer Ransomwaregruppe veröffentlicht, wir haben inzwischen von mehreren Firmen in Österreich gehört, die dieses Angriffsmuster selber beobachten mussten: Zuerst wird ein Mitarbeiter der Zielfirma mit E-Mail überschüttet: in vielen Fällen sind das legitime Newsletter, die aber in der Masse ein echtes Problem sind. Danach wird dieser Angestellte per Teams oder über andere Kanäle kontaktiert: Man sei der Helpdesk und will ihm bei der Bewältigung der Mail-Lawine helfen.
