Phishing Scams: How to Protect Your Business from SubdoMailing

1 min read

Imagine sifting through your daily emails and spotting one from a trusted brand. It’s easy to let your guard down and think it’s safe. However, a new phishing scam, known as “SubdoMailing,” is changing the game, making it crucial for small to medium business decision-makers to pay close attention.

Understanding SubdoMailing: A Sneaky Threat

SubdoMailing exploits a clever technique where cybercriminals impersonate reputable companies by hijacking their unused subdomains. These are the sections of a web address before the main domain, like the ‘experience’ in experience.trustedbrand.com. The attackers hunt for these subdomains pointing to external, now-unregistered domains, purchase them, and then redirect unsuspecting users to fraudulent sites.

This method is alarmingly effective, with millions of seemingly legitimate emails bypassing security measures and infiltrating inboxes of businesses nationwide every day.

How to Shield Your Business From SubdoMailing Scams

Protecting your business from SubdoMailing requires vigilance and proactive measures:

  1. Stay Skeptical: Treat emails with caution, especially if something feels off. Better safe than sorry.
  2. Verify Before Clicking: Pause to check the sender’s credibility. Spelling errors or odd email addresses are red flags.
  3. Educate Your Team: Ensure your employees are up-to-date on the latest phishing strategies. Awareness is a powerful defense.
  4. Invest in Security: High-quality security software may seem like a luxury until it saves you from a potentially crippling cyberattack.
