The attacker targets a global
shipping company and identifies
an IT manager inside — learning
about them through social media.
An email is crafted to appear like
it’s from the IT manager’s boss,
recommending a critical software
update.
The IT manager, assuming the
email is real, clicks on a link
embedded in the email to
install the software update.
Malware is downloaded from the
attacker’s server and infects the IT
manager’s machine.
Passcodes that control the
shipping company’s closed circuit
television network are exfiltrated.
The attacker disables the
closed-circuit television cameras,
steals the containers, and flees the
scene.
