“Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me” is an old adage that doesn’t quite work in the age of security threats as the attacker really only needs to fool you once to win. How can you mitigate this tried and true deception technique? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I recently sat on a panel discussing deception techniques attackers<\/span><\/a> use to get to you or your organization. I always feel like we are all one click away from being compromised, hence the name of the blog. Being fooled (via deception) is not only one of the most used tactics, but we are about to see an entirely different level of play as adversaries increasingly use generative AI. We will have to deal with the \u2018likeness\u2019 of a person and new versions of deception where all of our human senses are called into question. But before we scare ourselves and go fetal in the corner, let’s at the very least talk about what we can do when faced with being \u2018one click away\u2019 from compromise. <\/p>\n

We as humans are built to make quick, sometimes compromising decisions when emotions are high or the situation requires immediate action. Attackers know this and the only reason they still practice it is because it remains effective for them. <\/p>\n

At DNSFilter, we have a global view of what these attackers are doing to fool you into interacting with their malicious website or clicking the link that is part of their multistep process to your compromise. Here is what I\u2019ll examine in this blog:<\/p>\n
