NEW! Callback Phishing
Callback phishing isn't your typical email scam. Threat actors set up a multi-layered trap using some smooth-talking tactics to get you to dial a fake number and spill your sensitive information. The good news is you can run simulated callback phishing campaigns in your KnowBe4 console to see if your users will call an unknown phone number in an email and share sensitive information.
How does it work?
An email lands in your users' inbox with a phone number and a callback code. If they dial the number, they'll be asked for the callback code. Your users face two challenges. First, they fail if they dial the number and enter the code from the email. Second, they fail if they provide any personal information, like Social Security or credit card numbers. You can use premade templates, including email and audio, create custom templates using text-to-speech, or by uploading audio files.
Callback Phishing is available to customers with a Diamond-level subscription.
Learn more on how you can take advantage of the Callback Phishing feature when implementing your security awareness training program within your organization!
