What is a Phishing Attack?
Phishing is a cybercrime where hackers deceive people to get sensitive information through email or text messages. Hackers use deceptive tactics to target both businesses and individuals. They try to trick people into giving away passwords or financial details. They target both businesses and individuals using deceptive techniques.
These fraudulent communications are designed to appear legitimate, but their aim is to illicitly acquire personal or confidential data from unsuspecting victims.
Equilibrium Security have been a fantastic partner. Their team of specialists delivers up-to-date, relevant, and sometimes bespoke training material, alongside planned phishing campaigns that raise awareness among our employees. They’ve also carried out several audits, scans, and tests to support our overall security posture.
As a result, we’ve seen increased awareness across the board — within our IT team and throughout the organisation. It’s also helped boost our clients’ confidence, knowing we’re proactive about cybersecurity. I’d highly recommend Equilibrium. Anish and his team are dedicated, thorough, and always provide detailed reports with clear guidance on next steps. The personal service they offer really sets them apart.

Spear phishing is a targeted form of phishing where cyber criminals customise their attacks to specific individuals or organisations.
Spear phishing messages personalise and tailor to the recipient’s interests, role, or relationships, unlike generic phishing emails. This makes them more convincing and increases the likelihood of the recipient falling for the scam. Spear phishing attacks involve gathering information about the target, like their name, job title, colleagues, or recent activities. We use this info to create a convincing email that is tailored to the individual.
Spear phishing tricks people into sharing sensitive information. This can include passwords or financial details. It can also infect their computer with malware.
As social engineering attacks increase in number and complexity, security training should not be just a yearly checkmark activity. To stay ahead of cyber-criminals, make sure all staff receive regular training on cybersecurity as part of your company’s procedures. It should also be integrated into your new-starter onboarding process. This allows new employees to get up-to-speed on security best practice from the offset.

Email phishing is one of the most common forms of a social engineering attack, which is why it’s important to get ahead of and keep your organisation as safe as possible from.
What is an example of a phishing attack? Phishing emails are designed to look like a legitimate email from a credible source. For instance, the bank sends an email to your accounts team stating that someone has leaked or compromised your credit card details.
This instantly ignites emotion from the reader. You want to know more. This is what the hacker wants, they want you to click on a link, scan a QR code, update a password or open an attachment.
When conducting our phishing email simulator we try and incorporate a number of these tactics when creating the phishing emails examples. This way we keep your employees on their toes and it’s not obvious to them that we are conducting a phishing email simulator.
