One of the primary ways that adversaries gain access to environments is through valid credentials. Because of this, maintenance and auditing of user accounts is an integral part of maintaining a good security posture. When an employee leaves a company or organization, it is important that all associated accounts be removed and permissions revoked.

But now that the automotive industry has joined the digital bandwagon, cybersecurity threats and attacks are also becoming an issue.
It's easy for cybersecurity teams to think they're doing everything to stay ahead of data breaches and cyberattacks in this post-pandemic era. For instance, you've probably rallied qualified experts to augment your IT ecosystem and supplied them with state-of-the-art threat detection and mitigation technologies that offer real-time insight into your infrastructure security.
Spam filters are essential. Without them we couldn’t cut through the noise of phishing scams and malware links to read our messages. Hatred of spam is well entrenched in society, just as bots (especially scalpers) have become the bane of so many lives in recent years. There are several parallels between the email spam in our inboxes and malicious bots that crawl the web. Both are designed to cause harm to businesses and individuals. Both exploit systems designed to be useful.

This is likely due to the ubiquitous usage of Microsoft Office in enterprises across the globe. Throughout 2021 we have analyzed many techniques used by attackers to deliver payloads through infected documents, which included the return of Emotet, a campaign that primarily uses infected documents to spread malware.
