Fency on the job

Two attacks stopped. One plan for the whole company.

Attacks rarely start with a hacker breaking in. They start with an ordinary person making a reasonable decision on a page that looks right. Here's how two of them unfold and where Fency steps in, and how Fency looks at the whole company to plan what each team needs to practise.

Case 01

A fake CAPTCHAthat leads to the internal network.

  1. What happenedAn employee searches for a tool and lands on a page that asks them to “verify you are human”. The check asks them to press a few keys: in reality, to paste and run a command.
  2. How it unfoldsThe command installs malware on the laptop. From there, attackers move through the internal network, looking for servers, shares and admin accounts.
  3. What Fency doesFency recognises the fake verification page and stops the user before anything is run. It explains that no website ever needs you to run a command, and flags the event to IT.
  4. What you avoidMalware on the network, and the days of investigation and recovery that follow.

Case 02

A fake Microsoft loginthat leads to the firm's own clients.

  1. What happenedA message says a document is waiting. The link opens a sign-in page that looks exactly like Microsoft 365, on an address that isn't Microsoft's.
  2. How it unfoldsThe password is captured and the mailbox taken over. Attackers read past conversations and write to the firm's own clients, from a real address they trust.
  3. What Fency doesFency spots the look-alike sign-in page before the password is typed, blocks it and shows the real address next to the fake one.
  4. What you avoidA hijacked mailbox, and fraudulent emails to your clients in your firm's name.

Case 03

A risk building up in one teamthat leads to a plan for training and tests.

  1. What happenedOver a few weeks, the same traps keep reaching Sales: fake invoice pages, rushed downloads, three near misses. None of them is an incident on its own.
  2. How it unfoldsLeft alone, a pattern like this ends with the one click that does get through, in the team that handles payments. A generic yearly course wouldn't even notice it.
  3. What Fency doesFency reasons on the state of the whole company: which teams meet which traps, who is improving, where risk is rising. It plans a short lesson and a phishing simulation built on how Sales works, and proposes the plan to IT, who approves it.
  4. What you avoidTraining that misses the real risk, and the click that would have got through.
