This is an outline of the interview process for my new role at Citi: 7/1: Interviewed with hiring manager (role 1) 7/2: Declined (role 1) 7/2: Applied for a higher role in the same department (role 2) 7/3: Interviewed with two hiring managers (for role 2) 7/5: Interviewed with the director and a peer (role 2) 7/9: Signed the offer letter (role 2) 7/29: MY FIRST DAY AT CITI!!!! (role 2) **When my recruiter reached back out to me asking me to apply for role 2 I was hesitant! I was already declined for another role in the same department THE SAME WEEK!!!! She explained not every hiring manager will like you but that doesn’t mean there is not a spot for you! 🙏 ❤️ **I agreed to the interview but decided I was NOT going to change any of the notes I previously prepared. The hiring managers (for role 2) LOVED everything I had to say!! 🤯 😲 **If you are a job seeker don’t be afraid to apply to more than one role within the same company. I AM LIVING PROOF!! One hiring manager might not like you but you could be a perfect fit on another team! 😀 😍 If I can do it, anybody can do it!! Keep your heads up!! You got this!! ✨ 💪

🚨 Hey there Cyber Chat’s Community Topic for today, #Password Attacks and How to Avoid Them. 🚨 As Cybersecurity professionals we need to be familiar with the types of password attacks and know what to do to avoid them. Here are 10 types of password attacks and countermeasures. HOW TO PREVENT PASSWORD ATTACKS 💡 Brute Force Attack - Create unique passwords for every online account. Use 2-factor authentication. Restrict root access. 💡 Credential Stuffing - Enable two-factor authentication on your online accounts when possible. 💡 Social Engineering - Never click on suspicious links or attachments. 💡 Dictionary Attack - Create complex passwords that include a variation of numbers, letters, and symbols. Use 2-Factor authentication. Implement password lock-out threshold, limit log-in attempts. 💡 Keylogger - Install reliable antivirus software onto your device. Patch system vulnerabilities. 💡 Password Spray Attack - Make a routine of changing your passwords every couple of months. Use multi-factor authentication. 💡 Phishing Attack - Double check the URLs before logging into accounts. Verify before clicking. 💡 Man-in-the-middle Attack - Double-check the sender’s email address on suspicious email messages. 💡 Shoulder Surfing - Enable biometric features like facial recognition to sign into accounts on mobile devices. Remember, a layered approach combining these techniques provides better protection against. 👉 We welcome your questions.

INSIDE PHISHING EMAILS: UNDERSTANDING HOMOGRAPH ATTACKS 📍 HOMOGRAPH OR HOMOGLYPH ATTACK ℹ️ It involves the use of visually similar characters to trick users into thinking they are interacting with a legitimate entity. ℹ️ In this case, the fake email address support@rnicrosoft[.]co[.]uk uses an "r" and "n" combination (rn) to mimic the appearance of the letter "m" in the legitimate email address support@microsoft[.]co[.]uk. ℹ️ Key Points: ⚠️ Visually Similar Characters: The attack leverages characters that look very similar to one another but are different in their Unicode representations. ⚠️ Deception: The goal is to deceive the user into believing they are dealing with a trusted source, leading to potential phishing or other malicious activities. ⚠️ Awareness: It requires users to be vigilant and carefully inspect email addresses and URLs, especially when receiving unsolicited messages or requests for sensitive information. 📍 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TYPOSQUATTING AND HOMOGRAPH ATTACKS ℹ️ Typosquatting involves registering domain names that are misspellings or variations of legitimate domain names, capitalizing on common typographical errors made by users. Example: micorsoft[.]com (letters transposed) or mircrosoft[.]com (extra character inserted). #phishing #phishingalert #phishingscams #phishingprevention #threathunting #threatdetection #threatanalysis #threatintelligenceteam #threatintelligence #cyberthreatintelligence #cyberintelligence #cybersecurity #cyberprotection #cyberdefense
