Effective Phishing Campaign Targeting European Companies and Organizations
1 min read
Summary
Palo Alto Networks’Unit 42 report findings show a phishing campaign targeting at least 20,000 European users of chemical, industrial compound manufacturing and automotive companies.
The threat actor conducted a phishing operation that led the victims to a credential harvesting page.
The threat actor not only targeted these organizations but also made several attempts to take over victims’ Microsoft Azure cloud infrastructure.
The threat actor scanned the control panel from the same phishing infrastructure used in the campaign.
Organizations can protect themselves from such phishing attempts by implementing security measures across several areas.
Some of these include secure configuration, network security, zero trust implementation, and system hardening and secure account management.
Palo Alto Networks has shared these findings with its fellow Cyber Threat Alliance members.
