In my case, my estimation is a simple count.
Prior to using my email, I was getting 2 targeted attacks per week to my email.
After making an acct on LinkedIn with resume, was seeing 25-30 attacks per week.
I didn't make any attempt to determine the classification of attack, or its complexity. It was a simple dumb count.
- crustaceansoup 3y agoI had a suspicion that phishers were using LinkedIn to build an employee directory to attack at work (using names and guessing our email address pattern), so I created a honeypot to test that: a company email along with a LinkedIn profile for a fake employee. Sure enough the honeypot mailbox started to get targeted by the same spear phishing emails our employees get pretty soon after.
