Phishing Scams Are Getting Smarter - and Harder to SpotCybercriminals aren’t just sending out sloppy scam emails anymore. They’re getting creative, and they’re targeting businesses with precision.
One of the newest tricks we’re seeing?
Domain impersonation.Attackers register new web domains that look almost identical to your company or a trusted partner.
For example:Or even yoourcompany.com - a simple extra letter most people would never notice.
From there, they send emails that appear completely legitimate, same logo, same email signature, even similar writing style, tricking employees into sharing passwords, wiring funds, or opening malicious attachments.
The takeaway:- Always check the sender’s full email address, not just the display name.
- Hover over links before clicking, small spelling changes are red flags.
- Enable multifactor authentication (MFA) to add a safety net.
- And most importantly, train your team regularly, awareness is the best defense!
Phishing isn’t about tech anymore - it’s about psychology. These attackers play on trust, routine, and urgency. Don’t give them the chance.
