Abstract

HC3 has recently observed threat actors employing advanced social engineering tactics to target IT help desks in the health sector and gain initial access to target organizations. In general, threat actors continue to evolve their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to achieve their goals. HC3 recommends various mitigations outlined in this alert, which involve user awareness training, as well as policies and procedures for increased security for identity verification with help desk requests.
