“Making the victim do all the heavy lifting is a notable shift from the more traditional hacking attack vectors,” Tom Bennett, cyber threat analysis team leader with CFC Underwriting, said in a press release earlier this month. “Unfortunately, most workplace education around phishing emails doesn’t warn about this type of social engineering, so it represents a significant new threat.”

Dubbed ‘BazarCall,’ the scam targets small businesses by convincing victims through “good impersonations of legitimate companies” to visit a phishing site, phone a call centre and download a Microsoft Excel file to infect the victim’s network.
