US Becomes Top Target in RMM Phishing Campaign Spanning 46 Countries

A remote access management (RMM) phishing campaign initially thought to target Canada has expanded to 46 countries, with the United States accounting for approximately 45% of observed activity. Researchers linked 601 cases to the operation, which uses Canada Revenue Agency tax forms as social engineering lures.

Why it matters: Organizations in the US and globally face credential theft and potential RMM compromise from this widespread phishing effort; practitioners should train users to verify tax authority communications through official channels and scrutinize unsolicited remote access requests.
