What is Fishing?

In this article, we're going to talk about "fishing" (or phishing)! That famous technique of sending mass e-mails and then seeing what you can get back!

What is Fishing?

What does it look like?

If you think you can never be fooled, you should know that, on average, between 15 and 20% of user IDs and passwords are stolen. And as many accesses to your company! 😱

We're not talking here about mail with spelling mistakes, so yes, clearly I couldn't do the mail myself 😉 nor even mail with an @lapousteuh.fr address 🤷‍♀️

No, a real phishing scam, with your company logo, an info service address and a fake Microsoft page for entering the login.

And if the e-mail explains that you have 24 hours to reset your password before deleting the contents of your computer! 🙄 Stress is not far away and so is error.

So don't panic!

  • Nothing gets clicked! 🐵
  • Call your favorite IT specialist/IT manager/dsi/geek
  • We explain the situation
  • We don't let panic get the better of us 🙏

And once you've done all that, you can calmly explain to your IT specialist that implementing dual authentication could be quite a good thing in terms of security! 🔐

And if he's not technically up to it, or if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. We'll be happy to get back to you! 🥰

What is SaaS?

But what's Saas (that creepy term! 😱) The decontamination airlocks in zombie movies? 🧟 Almost, but more like Software As A Service(after correction). A bit barbaric written like that when every day we use it. 👍
