Phishing Campaigns Employ Real-Time Email Validation for More Effective Credential Theft April 14, 2025 Email Security / Cyber Attack Cybersecurity experts are highlighting a new credential phishing method designed to ensure stolen information is linked to valid online accounts. Termed “precision-validating phishing” by Cofense, this strategy uses real-time email checks to target a select group of high-value individuals with counterfeit login screens. “This approach significantly increases the success rate for attackers by focusing solely on a curated list of verified email addresses,” the company stated. Unlike traditional “spray-and-pray” tactics that indiscriminately mass-distribute phishing emails, this advanced method elevates spear-phishing by interacting only with confirmed active and legitimate email accounts.July 31, 2025
“Scattered Spider Linked to Cyberattacks on M&S and Co-op, Resulting in Up to $592M in Damages” June 21, 2025 Cyber Attack / Critical Infrastructure The April 2025 cyberattacks on U.K. retailers Marks & Spencer and Co-op have been deemed a “single combined cyber event” by the Cyber Monitoring Centre (CMC), an independent non-profit organization established by the insurance industry to assess significant cyber incidents. The CMC noted, “Given that one threat actor claimed responsibility for both M&S and Co-op, along with their close timing and the similar tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), we have classified these incidents as a single combined cyber event.” These disruptions have been categorized as a “Category 2 systemic event,” with estimated financial repercussions ranging from £270 million ($363 million) to £440 million ($592 million). However, the cyberattack on Harrods, occurring around the same period, has not been included due to insufficient information regarding its cause.July 31, 2025
