How to Spot Phishing, Vishing and Smishing

SMS Scams Surge 73% | Data Finds Key Trends

June 2, 2025

Businesses are constantly at risk of cyber threats and attacks with the increasing sophistication of hackers. 

It is important for companies to be vigilant about their cybersecurity measures, but how do you recognize the signs that your business might be targeted? This can make a significant difference in preventing a potential breach. 

Here are six signs that indicate you might need a cybersecurity checkup for your company:

  1. Unusual Network Activity:

If you notice unexpected network activity, such as slow internet speeds, unexplained data transfers, or unauthorized access attempts, it could be a sign of a cyber intrusion. Monitor your network traffic regularly to detect any unusual patterns.

  1. Suspicious Emails and Messages:

Phishing emails and messages are common tactics used by hackers to gain access to sensitive information. Be cautious of unsolicited emails, especially those asking for login credentials or financial details. Educate your employees about the signs of phishing attempts and encourage them to report any suspicious emails they receive.

  1. Unfamiliar Devices or Accounts:

If you notice unfamiliar devices connected to your company network or unauthorized user accounts, it’s a clear indication of a security threat. Regularly review and update user access privileges to ensure that only authorized personnel can access sensitive data.

  1. Software Vulnerabilities:

Outdated software and applications are vulnerable to exploits. Cybercriminals often target businesses that use outdated software with known security flaws. Regularly update your operating systems, antivirus programs, and applications to patch security vulnerabilities and protect your systems from potential attacks.

  1. Sudden Increase in Failed Login Attempts:

A sudden surge in failed login attempts, especially on critical systems, indicates that someone is trying to gain unauthorized access. Implement account lockout policies and two-factor authentication to mitigate the risk of brute-force attacks.

  1. Unexpected Pop-ups or Redirects:

If your employees encounter unexpected pop-ups, redirects to suspicious websites, or unauthorized software installations, your network might be compromised. Advise your staff to avoid clicking on suspicious links and to report any unusual pop-ups or redirects immediately.

Preventing Cybersecurity Threats

While these signs can alert you to a potential cyber threat, you equally need to proactively invest in cybersecurity measures to protect your business. 

Conduct regular security audits, employee training sessions, and vulnerability assessments. Implementing robust firewalls, encryption methods, and intrusion detection systems can significantly enhance your company’s cybersecurity posture.
