Credential Phishing
Credential phishing is a type of cyber attack where attackers masquerade as legitimate entities to trick
individuals into divulging sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, or financial data.
Solution:
- Implement email filtering and anti-phishing technologies to detect and block phishing emails before they reach users’ inboxes, reducing the likelihood of successful credential theft.
- Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for accessing sensitive accounts or systems to add an extra layer of security and mitigate the risk of unauthorized access even if credentials are compromised.
DNS Tunneling
DNS tunneling is a technique used by attackers to bypass network security controls by encapsulating
data within DNS queries and responses, allowing them to exfiltrate data or communicate with command-and-control servers covertly.
Solution:
Monitor DNS traffic for anomalies, such as unusually high query rates, long domain names,or unexpected data payloads, which may indicate DNS tunneling activity.
Implement DNS security solutions, such as DNS firewalls, DNS sinkholing, or threat intelligence feeds, to detect and block malicious DNS traffic associated with tunneling techniques used by attackers.
