Summary
A recent study highlighted in HP Wolf Security's Q1 2024 threat insights report reveals a growing concern over fake invoice scams, which continue to bypass enterprise email security measures. These scams, often involving PDF-based email attacks, have seen threat actors refine their techniques, successfully evading gateway security tools. The WikiLoader malware, identified in December 2022, exemplifies the sophisticated nature of these threats by using techniques like detection evasion and DLL sideloading to install additional malicious software. The report underscores the substantial risk and financial implications for businesses, as attackers leverage widespread practices of sending invoices via email.
