Social Media phishing attacks jumped by a massive 500% in Q4,2016. The report claimed fraudulent accounts across sites like Twitter and Facebook increased 100% from the third to fourth quarter. So-called \u201cangel phishing\u201d is a relatively new tactic in which the black hats register fake Twitter accounts that masquerade as customer support accounts. They monitor the real support accounts for irate customer messages and then quickly jump in to send messages back to those users loaded with malicious links.<\/p>\n
I was phishing attacked by an email that told me I was hired by a company which I never applied. I did search the person who was trying to interview me, I found out the real-person said she didn\u2019t hire people through google hangout or skype. Also, she said her identity was stolen on LinkedIn. For students who is desecrating to get a job after graduation, I think this kind of phishing is very attractive. The only thing I didn\u2019t get is how did them get my school email.<\/p>\n
