DarkGate is a sophisticated #malware designed for #datatheft, unauthorized access and system compromise. Its adaptive flexibility appeals to cyber criminals. #TA571 used #DarkGate to try to infiltrate 1,000+ organizations worldwide. Here's the story and how Proofpoint detected the attack: https://ow.ly/Sat550SzfZt. .

Proofpoint Protect is more than just a conference—it’s a cornerstone for cybersecurity professionals seeking to advance their skills, connect with peers, and understand the dynamics of human-centric cybersecurity. Don't miss out! https://ow.ly/waiF50Sxq8g #ProofpointProtect #HumanCentricSecurity

Data shows that more than 63% of the threats missed by Microsoft—but detected by Proofpoint—are credential phishing. And our superior efficacy does not end with URLs and phishing. Here's how one organization improved its security posture with Proofpoint. https://ow.ly/xb8750SxqlQ .

Today’s integrated cyber attacks target people, not just technology. In this blog, Proofpoint shared how threat actors exploit human vulnerabilities by impersonating people and brands and why the #DMARC authentication protocol is becoming mandatory.

While often associated with superheroes and chess, the word "endgame" is now linked to what Europol calls the largest-ever operation against botnets. https://ow.ly/6lEf50SqwAZ Pim Trouerbach joined Proofpoint DISCARDED to give listeners the lowdown on #OperationEndgame.

There are many ways data can find itself outside your defenses. One is #misdirectedemail—a common incident where legitimate messages are sent to incorrect recipients. This Proofpoint blog shares how to fix this human-centric cybersecurity issue. https://ow.ly/es0z50SqwVj .

Proofpoint researchers have uncovered a clever #socialengineering technique attempting to coerce victims into copy and pasting malicious #PowerShell scripts to infect their computers with malware. Read about the cybersecurity threat in Technology Decisions.

Proofpoint executive Ryan Kalember recently shared his perspective on Microsoft's security strategy. “Microsoft has accumulated too much technical debt and that affects cybersecurity.” Read on in Computing España (BPS).

Attackers are using #socialengineering to get users to copy, paste, and run malicious scripts — all while thinking they are helping out the IT team. Read in CSO Online about the clever campaign Proofpoint observed in early April.
