Diving into Phishing 2.0 with Lukáš Jakubíček
In this episode, host Michael LaFleur sits down with Lukáš Jakubíček, Lead Principal Solution Consultant at ThreatMark, to explore the ever-evolving world of phishing and fraud. Lukáš explains the fundamentals of phishing, highlighting its psychological underpinnings, such as urgency and fear, that fraudsters exploit to steal sensitive information. He contrasts phishing with newer scams like Authorized Push Payment (APP) fraud, which relies on social engineering to coerce victims into granting access to their accounts.
Lukáš delves into the infrastructure behind modern fraud, from phishing kits that streamline attacks to the sophisticated setup required for large-scale APP fraud operations. He also introduces emerging threats, such as phishing-as-a-service platforms and the use of AI tools like ChatGPT to enhance phishing tactics. These advancements lower barriers for fraudsters, making attacks more accessible and effective.
The conversation concludes with insights into defensive strategies, emphasizing the role of behavioral biometrics. Lukáš explains how analyzing user behavior, such as typing patterns and mouse movements, can help identify fraudulent activity in real time. By staying vigilant and adaptive, organizations can better protect themselves against increasingly sophisticated threats.
