Frequently Asked Questions
What is executive impersonation?
Executive impersonation occurs when cybercriminals or malicious actors impersonate high-level executives (such as CEOs or CFOs) to deceive employees or business partners into performing unauthorized actions, like transferring funds or sharing sensitive information. It’s a significant threat because these executives have access to critical company resources, and attackers can exploit their authority to bypass typical security protocols.
Why is executive impersonation a threat to our business?
Criminals create fake profiles because they know victims will recognize high-profile executives, and are therefore more likely to open phishing attacks. They’re also more likely to believe bogus claims.
What social media platforms are covered by Netcraft executive impersonation detection?
Netcraft searches for fraudulent content on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Telegram, LinkedIn, Weibo, and Pinterest that is impersonating executives and employees.
