Common Indicators of Executive Phishing

Executive phishing attacks are tough to spot by the human workforce because they claim to come from people you know and trust. Here are some telltale signs of an executive phishing attack:

Spoof/Lookalike Domains

Attackers retain the executive’s display name and use domain spoofing techniques to slip past legacy security defenses.

Intent, Urgency, and Tone

Scammers impersonate senior executives and ask for money or data to be transferred at short notice, trusting that employees’ deference to authority will take over.

Personal Email Addresses

Attackers create fake personal email accounts for executives on Gmail or Yahoo and send emails to employees with urgent financial requests.

“Are You At Your Desk?”

Cybercriminals often use “impersonation pick up lines” to check which employees respond, and then carry out an email conversation that ends in compromise.
