KnowBe4 - Phishing Reported in IKEA’s Internal Email System

IKEA has been working to contain a continuing phishing campaign that’s afflicting the furniture and houseware chain’s internal email system. BleepingComputer describes it as a “reply-chain email attack.” This form of attack is unusual but not unknown. The attackers obtain a legitimate corporate email and reply to it. “As the reply-chain emails are legitimate emails from a company,” BleepingComputer explains, “and are commonly sent from compromised email accounts and internal servers, recipients will trust the email and be more likely to open the malicious documents.”
