N10-008 CompTIA Network Pop Quiz: That’s not a word An attacker has gained access to a building by following an employee through an entrance without the employee’s knowledge.

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
