In 2016, a house in Middle, Ohio, went up in flames. The owner of the home, Ross Compton, claimed he was asleep when the fire broke out, waking just in time to hastily pack a suitcase, smash his bedroom window, and make an escape.

In a never-ending effort to do their job and secure their environments, cybersecurity teams often bear the brunt of negative perceptions, labelled as the department of ‘No.’ “No” to admin privileges, “No” to personal devices, and “No” to connecting unapproved technologies. These repeated denials, although done with the best intentions, can stifle innovation and create frustration within organizations. This perception needs to change.

Researchers at Menlo Security warn that a phishing campaign is exploiting Google Drawings to evade security filters.
