Analysis of 500,000 emails showed that conversation hijacking rose by over 400% between July and November last year.<\/p>\n<p>While conversation-hijacking attacks are still relatively rare, the personal nature means they&#8217;re difficult to detect, are effective and potentially very costly to organisations that fall victim to campaigns.<\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top\" data-component=\"medusaContentRecommendation\" data-medusa-content-recommendation-options=\"{&quot;promo&quot;:&quot;promo_zd_recommendation_sharethrough_top_in_article_desktop&quot;,&quot;spot&quot;:&quot;dfp-in-article&quot;}\">\n<\/section>\n<p>For cyber criminals conducting conversation-hijacking attacks, the effort involved is much greater than simply <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/these-are-the-most-common-types-of-phishing-emails-reaching-your-inbox\/\">spamming out phishing emails<\/a> in the hope that a target clicks, but a successful attack can potentially be highly rewarding.<\/p>\n<p>In most cases, the attackers won&#8217;t directly use the compromised account to send the malicious phishing message \u2013 because the user could notice that their outbox contains an email that they didn&#8217;t send.<\/p>\n<p>However, what conversation hijackers do instead is attempt to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/cybersecurity-why-one-old-web-scam-is-on-the-rise-again\/\">impersonate domains<\/a>, using techniques like typo-squatting \u2013 when a URL is the same as the target company, save for one or two slightly altered changes.<\/p>\n<p>But by using a real name and a real email thread, the attackers are hoping that the intended target won&#8217;t notice the domain is slightly different and that they&#8217;ll follow the request that&#8217;s coming from their supposed contact, perhaps a colleague, customer, partner or vendor.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, it&#8217;s been known for conversation hijackers to communicate with their intended victims for weeks in order to ensure trust is built up.<\/p>\n<p>At some point, the attacker will make their move and try to trick the victim into transferring money, sensitive information or potentially <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/what-is-malware-everything-you-need-to-know-about-viruses-trojans-and-malicious-software\/\">installing malware<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These attacks are highly personalized, including the content, and therefore a lot more effective. They have the potential of a very large payout, especially when organizations are preparing to make a large payment, purchase or an acquisition,&#8221; said Klevchuk.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is a great chance that someone will fall for a conversation-hijacking attack over a more traditional type of phishing,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/windows-7-end-of-life-security-risks-and-what-you-should-do-next\/\"><strong>Windows 7 end of life: Security risks and what you should do next<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>However, while conversation-hijacking attacks are more sophisticated than regular phishing attacks, they&#8217;re not impossible to spot. Users should pay attention to the email address a message is coming from and be suspicious if the domain is slightly different compared to what they&#8217;re used to seeing.<\/p>\n<p>Users should also be wary of sudden demands for payments or transfers and, if there&#8217;s doubt about the origin of the request, they should contact the person requesting it, either in person, by phone or by starting a new email to their known address.<\/p>\n<p>Organisations can also protect their employees from these attacks <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/protect-yourself-how-to-choose-the-right-two-factor-authenticator-app\/\">by implementing two-factor authentication<\/a>, because by adding this extra layer, even if login credentials are stolen, attackers can&#8217;t use them to conduct further attacks.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>MORE ON CYBERSECURITY<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>READ MORE <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/beware-of-this-sneaky-phishing-technique-now-being-used-in-more-attacks\/#ftag=RSSbaffb68\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Security company researchers warn of a large increase in conversation-hijacking attacks.
