The tools we trust most are often the easiest to fake. In this episode of SipCyber, Jen Lotze settles in at Quixotic Coffee to break down a phishing campaign that turned an everyday inbox notification into an attack vector. Attackers impersonated the automatic "you have a new voicemail" emails millions of workplaces send every day, hiding malicious code inside disguised SVG attachments that slipped past spam filters far more often than anyone would like.
More than 26,000 of these messages hit over 5,500 organizations, each one personalized with the recipient's own email address to make it feel legitimate. Jen walks through why that familiarity is exactly what attackers are counting on, what to check before opening an unexpected voicemail email, and this week's cyber tip on locking down spam call protection on your phone.
