Integrity360 Comment: Mailchimp Breach
January 2023 by Patrick Wragg - Cyber Threat Response Manager, Integrity360
As news brings yet another report of a data breach from Mailchimp, please see comment below from Patrick Wragg, Cyber Incident Response Manager, Integrity360:
"Seeing as phishing emails are still the most successful initial access vector for breaches, the compromise of a company that bases its business around email marketing is bad. What perhaps makes this more interesting is that Mailchimp has confirmed it was breached via a phishing/social engineering campaign itself. Employees are your first line of defence against a cyber attack, and education and awareness are still critical in tackling even basic phishing emails."
