Once these hackers have found a target, they will ATTACK THEM FROM MULTIPLE DIRECTIONS until they find a way in.
Hackers are targeting him because he has access to a large amount of his company’s sensitive data. Hackers can clone any website and easily penetrate benign sites like nonprofits that don’t have IT security budgets. Since Tom visits this site frequently, hackers have infiltrated it in an attempt to capture his personal data.
Tom is working from home today and is filling out a form with sensitive company data, including financials and account numbers.
