Deepfake Voice Attacks Are Getting Shorter—and Harder to Detect
New deepfake scams use only 5–10 seconds of source audio to spoof executive voices, often delivered via voicemail or WhatsApp with financial urgency.
Educate finance and HR staff on voice impersonation cues. Use voice authentication only with back-channel verification and multiple approvers.
Time-of-Day Logic Is Being Exploited in Access Workflows
Attackers are learning org behavior and timing access attempts to overlap with peak work hours—when help desks are overloaded and alert fatigue is highest.
Deploy conditional access by context, not just schedule. Flag approvals outside normal patterns, even if the time appears “safe.”
Printer Queues Are Leaking Sensitive Documents
Shared office printers often retain previous job logs or display the last print job on-screen—revealing contracts, resumes, or strategy decks to the next user.
Purge job history after each print, require PIN-based release, and segment print access by department and clearance level.
Password Reset Flows Are Exposing Account Ownership
Some platforms still reveal whether an email is registered, active, or suspended during the password reset process—leaking identity confirmation to attackers.
Use ambiguous messaging (“If this account exists…”) in reset flows. Monitor for bulk enumeration attempts and apply CAPTCHA to slow abuse.

Virtual Backgrounds in Video Calls Are Creating Exposure
Custom virtual backgrounds in tools like Zoom and Teams are being exploited to subtly display internal screens, whiteboards, or environment cues—especially in media interviews and public streams.
Train execs and staff on secure meeting setups. Blur by default, audit recorded calls, and avoid streaming from sensitive locations.
Dormant Email Accounts Are Being Monitored by Threat Actors
After initial compromise, some attackers sit silently inside low-activity inboxes—watching for invoice threads, password resets, or calendar invites before acting.
Treat all inboxes as privileged assets. Rotate credentials, enforce MFA even for stale accounts, and alert on logins from geo-anomalies.
