Clone phishing is just a sophisticated and insidious form of phishing attack that capitalizes on the trust and familiarity of legitimate email communications. Unlike traditional phishing, which regularly involves sending fake emails from seemingly random or suspicious sources, clone phishing requires a subtler approach. Attackers first obtain the best email that the target has previously received. This can be carried out through various means, such as for example hacking into the e-mail accounts of trusted contacts or intercepting emails via compromised networks. After the attacker gets the legitimate email, they create an exact replica or "clone," but with malicious links or attachments substituted for the initial ones. The cloned email is then provided for the initial recipients, rendering it appear as if it's a continuation or follow-up of a prior legitimate conversation.

The potency of clone phishing lies in its power to exploit the trust that recipients have in known senders and familiar email formats. When recipients see a contact that appears in the future from a trusted source and references a previous interaction, they are more likely to click clone phishing links or open attachments without suspicion. This is particularly dangerous in a company context, where employees frequently receive and answer emails from colleagues, clients, and partners. The cloned email can contain malicious software, such as for example ransomware or spyware, or lead the recipient to a phony website made to steal login credentials or other sensitive information.

Among the main challenges in defending against clone phishing is the problem in distinguishing cloned emails from legitimate ones. Attackers visit great lengths to create their cloned emails appear authentic, replicating not only the content but in addition the sender's email and even the e-mail signature. Advanced cloning techniques could also involve mimicking the writing style and tone of the initial sender, rendering it even harder for recipients to detect the fraud. Traditional email security measures, such as for example spam filters and antivirus programs, might not be sufficient to catch these sophisticated attacks, particularly when the cloned email originates from a compromised account within exactly the same organization.

To combat clone phishing, organizations must adopt a multi-layered approach to email security. Including using advanced email filtering solutions that will detect anomalies in email metadata and content, implementing strong authentication mechanisms like multi-factor authentication (MFA), and regularly updating security software to guard against the latest threats. Employee training and awareness programs may also be crucial, as human vigilance is usually the last type of defense against phishing attacks. Employees should be trained to acknowledge the signs of phishing, such as for instance unexpected requests for sensitive information, unusual links or attachments, and discrepancies in email content or formatting.
