Cybercriminals Pose as Interpol in Phishing Emails to Infect Victims With Ransomware
Bitdefender researchers identified a ransomware campaign targeting businesses globally that uses phishing emails impersonating Interpol to compromise victims. The attackers leverage the authority and trust associated with the international law enforcement organization to deceive recipients into opening malicious attachments or clicking malicious links.
Why it matters: Organizations worldwide face increased risk from sophisticated social engineering attacks that exploit law enforcement impersonation, making employee security awareness training and email filtering critical to prevent ransomware infections.
