The Register reports that the number of senior business executives stymied by an ongoing phishing campaign continues to rise with cybercriminals registering hundreds of cloud account takeovers, or ATOs, over the past 90 days.
CEOs and other C-Suite positions are targets for the attackers, as well as VPs, sales directors, and finance managers.
