Expert Warns After Data Leak: Stolen Data Can Be Used for Phishing Attacks
Stolen data can be used to create more convincing phishing attacks, says a cybersecurity expert.
The stolen data, which includes names, addresses, and CPR numbers, can be used to create targeted phishing attacks that appear more legitimate.
According to Jens Myrup Pedersen, a professor of cybersecurity at Aarhus University, the more data that is available, the more convincing the attacks can be.
Phishing attacks involve tricking individuals into revealing sensitive information by posing as a legitimate entity, such as a government agency or business.
