Phishing won’t stop, just because of the election

In our title piece dealing with Phishing, we wanted to highlight the aspect of phishing and the fact that actors are stopping at nothing to get their wares out.

In an October 2nd article on Threatpost, Lindsey O’Donnell talks about the rise in Phishing due to the fact that voters need to submit their information on who they want to vote for and other aspects of the election via the mail.
