Digital security risks continue to evolve and pose a serious threat to businesses across the globe. It is important to remain vigilant and ensure all staff are aware of, and adhere to, your organization's security policies and procedures. It is especially important to remind staff during vacation periods of the approved escalation plans that account for executive decision maker absences.
Digital Security risks can increase when attackers perceive that a large number of employees will take annual leave and defenses may be weaker than usual due to lower staffing levels, the continued prevalence of remote working and other diversions. Therefore as we come into a season where many staff take annual leave in various parts of the world, we remind your organization to remain vigilant.
Please be sure to closely monitor your company's account activity and keep your systems updated with the latest patches and anti-virus software. With workplaces becoming more mobile, there are also additional risks with connecting mobile devices such as laptops and phones to public networks. Staff should be reminded to adhere to your organization's security policies and procedures to combat fraud, including being aware of key escalation contacts should they observe any suspicious activity. In particular, employees should exercise caution when receiving emails from outside of their organization and unknown sources, requests to change or add new account numbers, requests to pay invoices early, or other unusual requests. We have observed some of the following trends:

Vishing
A form of fraud using social engineering to impersonate trusted officials over the phone or via text message. One example of vishing is criminals impersonating bank staff by phone, and requesting the victim’s online banking login details and passcodes to address a fictional ‘security or fraud incident’. The details provided by the victim are used to execute fraudulent payments.

Business Email Compromise
