📲Hackers are impersonating well-known cybersecurity companies, such as CrowdStrike, in callback phishing emails to gain initial access to corporate networks.

📲Most phishing scams are done through links to steal user login details.

📲However, more recently, hackers have turned to "callback" phishing campaigns that impersonate well-known companies requesting you call a number to resolve a problem, cancel a subscription renewal, or discuss another issue.

📲Make sure to remind those close to you who may not be as aware of these scams to be more vigilant with those contacting them.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is warning people to beware of people posing as investment advisers and offering to help them set up new schemes via online meeting platforms.

Scammers ask their victim to share the screen and enable remote access - which hands over control of their device and, potentially their bank account.

About 2,100 cases have been reported to the FCA since July 2020 and more than £25m was stolen in the 15 months from January 2021.

New report claims fraudsters are using screen-sharing tools to gain victims' trust and then steal money.

People and businesses should drop passwords altogether and move to other technology to protect personal information from hackers, according to cybersecurity expert Grahame Williams.

He called on the industry to move to other forms of login such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) or biometrics like face and fingerprint scans to improve the general safety of personal data.

Mr Williams said a key issue was the widespread use of simple and easy-to-guess passwords. Recent research suggests that the number of CEOs still using '12356' as their password is almost comical. Not only are their passwords easy to guess, but they're also used across multiple platforms, giving potential hackers even greater access to valuable data.

The days are numbered for the password "password" and "qwerty" (the top six letters on the left of a standard keyboard) - as they are the world's most popular picks and get hacked easily.

Britain’s cybersecurity unit has reported a record crackdown on internet scams after tackling more than 2.7m attempted frauds last year, a near-fourfold increase on the figure for 2020.

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), an arm of the GCHQ spy agency, said the interrupted scams included fake celebrity endorsements and bogus extortion emails. It stressed, however, that the increase in detection reflected aggressive targeting by the unit rather than an increase in scams.

Lindy Cameron, the NCSC’s chief executive, said one foiled scam involved a fraudster attempting to impersonate her. “We know that scammers will go to great lengths, and indeed my name has been used to try to trick people, but as we continue to expand our defences we can see the tangible impact this is having,” she said.

On Monday Elon Musk secured an agreement to buy Twitter for $44 billion and take the company private. In his initial comments about the move, Musk discussed a range of goals from “making the algorithms open source to increase trust” to addressing spambots and “authenticating all humans.”

There isn't more information available yet on how Musk will steer Twitter, but privacy and security proponents say that these initial comments paint a mixed picture of where the social media giant could be headed under its new leadership—and reveal the risks of trusting platforms to protect our private information.

The social network’s user data and more will soon be at the whims of the world’s richest man. Who's worried?
