Frequently asked questions

What is a OneNote email attack?

A phishing email that uses a OneNote or OneDrive document link as the lure. In this exercise, attackers who had been reading a partner's mailbox sent a contract link that led to a fake Microsoft sign-in page. Entering a password there handed the attacker the account within minutes.

What is a homograph domain?

A domain that swaps a letter for an identical-looking character from another alphabet, such as a Cyrillic "о" in place of a Latin "o". It reads as the real company name. Many browsers show such mixed-alphabet names as punycode starting with xn--, which is a warning sign worth checking.

How did the MGM Resorts breach happen in 2023?

The Scattered Spider threat group called MGM's IT helpdesk, impersonated an employee using publicly available LinkedIn information, and convinced staff to reset credentials. That single 10-minute phone call gave attackers initial access. They then deployed ALPHV/BlackCat ransomware, shutting down hotel systems, slot machines, and booking platforms. MGM reported over $100M in total impact.

What is Scattered Spider?

Scattered Spider is a financially motivated threat group known for social engineering attacks against large organizations. They specialize in helpdesk vishing, SIM swapping, and MFA fatigue attacks to gain initial access.
