With great power comes great responsibility — and also a great big target painted on your head. At least, that’s the case lately with corporate boards of directors and cybercriminals launching spearphishing attacks. “Since the beginning of the year we have serviced about 350 different clients that have had spearphishing attacks,” said Michael Bruemmer, vice president for data breach resolution at Experian Information Solutions. “About a third were specifically targeted at board members.” Board members get emails asking them for tax information or requesting bank transfers, which they typically forward to the company employee who is responsible and asking them to take care of it.
