The user receives a legitimate email from a company they know and trust. The same email then arrives in the inbox again, only this time the sender explains that they forgot to include additional recipients or information.

Signs of clone phishing

Without knowing the obvious signs of clone phishing , these emails are perceived as authentic and the sender's argument is innocently accepted. Finally, the content and context of the email do not give rise to suspicion. However, it turns out that this second email is not legitimate, but a clone of the original message, designed to trick people into clicking on a malicious link or downloading a malicious attachment.

Defense against any type of phishing attacks

A comprehensive cybersecurity strategy includes both technologies that protect against modern threats and proven security awareness training that can transform network users from a potential vulnerability to a strength. “The most important thing anyone can do to protect their company is to educate all employees about the signs of a phishing attack, thereby increasing security awareness and proactively combating such fraud methods,” recommends Jelle Wieringa, Security Awareness Advocate at KnowBe4 .
