Imagine searching for your company’s payroll portal, clicking the top result, and unknowingly handing over your credentials to a cybercriminal. This isn’t a hypothetical scenario—it’s a growing reality.
Cybercriminals are exploiting search engine advertisements to impersonate legitimate employee self-service websites. By mimicking URLs and website designs, they deceive users into entering sensitive information, leading to unauthorized access to payroll, unemployment, and health savings accounts.
Once inside, attackers can:
- Redirect direct deposits to their own accounts.
- Initiate fraudulent wire transfers.
- Harvest personal information for further exploitation.
Even multi-factor authentication isn’t foolproof. Attackers employ social engineering tactics, posing as bank representatives to extract one-time passcodes from unsuspecting victims.
This sophisticated blend of technical mimicry and psychological manipulation represents a new frontier in cyber threats.
