"Vishing Attacks Spoof Amazon to Try to Steal Your Credit Card Information"

The cybersecurity firm Armorblox examined two recent vishing campaigns that spoofed Amazon in an attempt to steal credit card information from unsuspecting victims. In a vishing (voice phishing) attack, a scammer uses social engineering to trick victims into giving up sensitive personal information and financial details, such as passwords and account numbers. Organizations are encouraged to supplement their native email security with additional protection, be on the lookout for signs of social engineering, avoid sharing sensitive information over the phone, implement Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), prohibit the reuse of the same password across multiple accounts, and more, to avoid falling victim to vishing attacks and other threats. This article continues to discuss findings from Armorblox regarding two vishing attacks and the company's suggestions for organizations to fend off such attacks.
