A few years ago, a #phishing email was a phishing email. A sketchy link, a credential page, a verdict. Done. That world is gone. Today's phishing arrives as a clean email. https://lnkd.in/dTRd82NP A clean email carrying a password-protected document. The QR code inside redirects through legitimate services. The malicious payload only materializes after a user opens, scans, clicks, or pastes, three or four steps removed from the original message. By design, every individual stage looks benign enough to pass automated checks. The threat lives in the CHAIN, not in the email. In a new piece, Andrey Voitenko, CISSP walks through what this shift means for #SOC operations, why traditional gateways struggle, and what effective triage of multi-stage delivery chains actually requires. Worth reading if user-reported phishing is part of your team's daily reality. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dTRd82NP #PhishingDetection #SOC #MalwareAnalysis #ThreatIntelligence
