Russian cybersecurity firm, Kaspersky, warns of rising cyberattacks impersonating productivity tools like Zoom, Microsoft Office, and ChatGPT targeting small and medium-sized businesses.
Cybercriminals are using techniques like phishing campaigns and presenting fake offers to steal data or distribute malware by impersonating popular software tools.
Kaspersky tracked over 4,000 unique malicious files targeting SMBs, with a 115% rise in ChatGPT spoofing incidents.
To safeguard against such attacks, businesses are advised to establish clear software adoption procedures, define access rules, and conduct regular backups.
