What Are Common Phishing Techniques Used Against Nanotechnology Entities?
Several phishing techniques are commonly used to target nanotechnology entities:
Email Phishing: Attackers send emails that appear to be from trusted sources, such as collaborators or funding agencies, tricking recipients into clicking malicious links or providing sensitive information. Spear Phishing: A more targeted approach where attackers customize their messages based on information gathered about specific individuals or projects, making the phishing attempt more convincing. Clone Phishing: Attackers create a replica of a legitimate email previously received by the victim. They alter the content slightly to include malicious links or attachments. Website Phishing: Phishers create fake websites that closely resemble legitimate ones, luring victims into entering their credentials or downloading malware.
