Not at all surprised.
At my old company, we had a theory that most of our spearphishing was coming from LI. So we tested it.
I had permission to create a completely fake person, fake role, fake experience, etc. And they got a corpo email. It took 2 days from LI profile creation.
After that, our CTO gave out a recommendation to the company to set their current employer to private to prevent spearphishing, and to change it back after leaving the company.
- timmb 3y agoWhat does spearfishing mean?
- pierat 3y agoIt's spearphishing, intentional spelling. And after a very simple 1 word google search: "the fraudulent practice of sending emails ostensibly from a known or trusted sender in order to induce targeted individuals to reveal confidential information"
- timmb 3y agoOnly if you spell it right! I got “Spearfishing is fishing using handheld elongated, sharp-pointed tools such as a spear, gig, or harpoon, to impaling the fish in the body”
