US Department of Health and Human Services Falls Victim to Social Engineered Scam – April 11th
The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) reported that they fell victim to a social engineering scam over the phone, imitating HHS' financial department, convincing them to hand over ID verification details. The threat actors, aside from imitating HHS' financial department, pulled the attack off by using local area codes and AI voice-changing technology to disguise themselves. The surrendered information could lead to threat actors bypassing multifactor authentication (MFA) security.
