Oil & Gas Sector Falls for Fake Car Accident Phishing Emails
04-Apr-24
An updated version of the Rhadamanthys malware-as-a-service (MaaS) is targeting oil and gas companies with fake car accident phishing emails, impersonating the nonexistent “Federal Bureau of Transportation.” Despite the nonexistence of such a bureau, the campaign has been remarkably successful in reaching targets, prompting concerns among analysts. The phishing emails utilize provocative subject lines and carefully crafted content to evoke emotional responses from recipients, highlighting the threat actor’s efforts to manipulate and exploit human psychology in their attacks.
