Allot NetworkSecure Automatically Detects and Blocks Amazon Black Friday Phishing Attack
22 Dicembre 2021 - 11:03AM
Allot Ltd. (NASDAQ: ALLT) (TASE: ALLT), a leading global provider
of innovative network intelligence and security-as-a-service
(SECaaS) solutions for communication service providers (CSPs) and
enterprises, today revealed that in Europe alone their Allot
NetworkSecure solution was successful nearly 1.7 million times in
automatically detecting and blocking two variants of a phishing
attack targeting Amazon Black Friday shoppers.
The attack was disguised as a fake promotion that was spread
predominantly through links on WhatsApp during the month of
November in the weeks leading up to Black Friday. The target was
offered an opportunity to fill out a survey that led to an offer of
free gifts on Amazon. Once the survey was completed, the target was
directed to a page where they were instructed to provide financial
information including credit card information. Allot NetworkSecure
blocked communication with the Websites that hosted the fake
promotion, relieving those protected of the need to decide whether
to click on a dangerous link.
NetworkSecure is a network-based solution, offering zero-touch,
clientless operation, requiring no application installation by the
end customer. With NetworkSecure, CSPs can offer their customers a
security service that protects them from cyber attacks, including
viruses, phishing and ransomware attacks and other types of
malware. An easy-to-use branded interface provides alerts and
reporting that help strengthen brand loyalty.
“This was one of the largest phishing attacks that we’ve seen in
recent history. Fortunately for people subscribed to CSP
cybersecurity services based on Allot NetworkSecure no damage was
incurred as a result of this attack,” said Itay Glick, Vice
President Security Products for Allot. “Though we did not have
prior knowledge of this attack, the solution kicked in and blocked
a serious threat, keeping regular people safe with no manual
intervention.”
