Summary

As the holiday season approaches, phishing attacks become more prevalent, exploiting themes like open enrollment, raises, bonuses, and annual reviews to deceive individuals into giving away their credentials. These scams often impersonate familiar entities and use tactics such as authoritative display names, brand impersonation, QR codes, and suspicious attachments to appear legitimate. Sublime, a security platform, detects and prevents such attacks by identifying signals like domain registration dates, BCC'd recipients, and obfuscated JavaScript in email attachments. The article encourages individuals to share their knowledge about these scams with family members during holiday gatherings to help protect them from potential threats and suggests using Sublime for enhanced security.
