Growing threat

4. And the hackers are employing increasingly sophisticated techniques. Each email they nd is meticulously built to make it attractive to its target, who the criminals have carefully rearched by trawling the internet for information. Once the email is compod, the malware is just as carefully designed: it is often modified to avoid detection by curity software.
5. The keylogger contained in the email installs itlf automatically and then collects details of logins and passwords from the unsuspecting ur. This means that hackers can, using the urnames and passwords stolen by the keyloggers, connect to VPNs, or trf
Virtual Private Networks, which many companies u to create an encrypted pathway into their networks.
