Phishing to Laundering: From Clicks to Cash-Out

It is widely acknowledged that phishing is responsible for more than 90 percent of breaches occurring today. Basic phishing primarily exploits human behavior to entice a victim to ‘click the link’ or ‘open the attachment,’ thus often handing over to the criminal the golden nugget – valid access credentials. While we are all taught not to click or open the attachment, the scheme is still highly successful and profitable. In fact, recent reporting indicates that regardless of the amount of training provided, organizations will likely see at least 4 percent of their workforce click on a link, thus resulting in some sort of compromise.

During this webinar, a panelist of National Cyber-Forensics and Training Alliance experts will explain how phishing campaigns are conducted, from developing a “phish kit,” to weaponizing a botnet for delivery, to using any stolen credentials for financial gain, then to laundering millions of dollars all over the world to fund their lavish lifestyles at your expense, etc.
