Does your organization have employees that travel frequently? If so, they are probably being targeted by phishers.
Employees that are constantly on-the-go receive a slew of emails confirming reservations and itineraries, and are thus easy targets for phishers. For example, a busy employee has an upcoming flight and receives an email warning of a schedule change. A change could throw off the schedule for a critical meeting, so this email has appealed to emotion by threatening to disrupt important plans. From reading Twitter posts, the criminal knows what airline an employee is travelling on, and that the flight leaves early in the morning. From the airline’s website, the criminal can deduce the exact number of the flight the employee is taking. Perhaps this criminal even knows which conferences your employees are travelling to and which hotel chains your company uses, and can tweak an email to be very specific and accurate.
