Email signatures are a common part of business communication, but did you know they can also be a serious security risk? Hackers are finding creative ways to use email signatures to launch phishing attacks, spoof emails, and even distribute malware. At Systemic Digital, we’ve created a free guide to help businesses like yours understand and mitigate these risks.
Phishing Attacks via Email Signatures
Phishing emails often look legitimate because they include professional-looking email signatures. Hackers can copy signatures from real emails, making their fraudulent messages appear authentic. This can trick your employees into clicking harmful links or sharing sensitive information.
Spoofing Through Email Signatures
Spoofing happens when a hacker makes an email look like it’s coming from someone within your organization or a trusted partner. By using a copied or fake email signature, they can manipulate your employees into taking dangerous actions, such as transferring money or revealing private data.
Malware Hidden in Email Signatures
In some cases, malware can be hidden in email signatures, either as an attachment or within a link. When employees click these links, their devices and your entire network can become compromised.
