Whaling phishing, also known as CEO fraud, poses a significant threat to organizations worldwide.
Perpetrators utilize social engineering tactics to impersonate high-profile executives, aiming to deceive employees into transferring funds or divulging sensitive information.
These attacks often involve convincing email impersonations and may even employ sophisticated techniques like fake video calls.
Preventive measures include scrutinizing email addresses for anomalies, requesting video meetings for verification, and implementing regular phishing simulation training for employees.
