Cybersecurity experts are raising alarms about a new wave of phishing attacks that utilize sophisticated tactics to evade detection. Notably, Chinese threat actor SilkSpecter is exploiting the Black Friday shopping frenzy with a targeted phishing campaign. These attacks increasingly involve the use of SVG attachments in emails, which help bypass traditional security measures. Additionally, hackers are now sending physical letters containing malicious QR codes through snail mail, marking a shift in their approach to cyber attacks. Swiss authorities have issued warnings regarding these physical malicious letters, highlighting the evolving nature of threats in the cybersecurity landscape. Furthermore, hackers are also exploiting Microsoft 365 to distribute extortion emails, adding another layer of complexity to the current threat environment.
