Help Desk Impersonation Is the New Favorite Move in Social Engineering
📞 Fake IT Help Desks Are Targeting Your Team Now
🚨 Cybercriminals are impersonating internal support teams – and it’s catching companies off guard.
🧠 The voice sounds legit. The details are right. The urgency feels real. But that “IT agent” is actually harvesting your login info.
🎯 These impersonators spoof internal caller IDs and even mimic your own help desk templates to manipulate trust.
🕵️ Employees assume anything from the help desk is safe – which is exactly why it works.
🛑 Most security training completely overlooks internal impersonation risks.
