Phishing scams ‘likely to target corporate info soon’
Office computers are being targeted for the vast resources they may tap into.
Richard Turner of RSA Security said the current rash of phishing scams was just the proverbial tip of the iceberg and those who were perpetrating them would turn to the more lucrative field of stealing business secrets.
‘Australian businesses are rapidly opening their networks to remote users, be they employees who want to work from home, customers or those from other companies who share information. As soon as you do this, you need to apply good policy to information systems and business systems,’ said Turner, who has been with RSA for the last eight years.
‘Once this stage is reached, the need to implement well-configured software becomes paramount, in order to provide protection against unauthorised connections.’
