A Chief Security Officer (CSO) is reviewing the organization’s incident response report from a recent incident. The details of the event indicate:
- A user received a phishing email that appeared to be a report from the organization’s CRM tool.
- The user attempted to access the CRM tool via a fraudulent web page but was unable to access the tool.
- The user, unaware of the compromised account, did not report the incident and continued to use the CRM tool with the original credentials.
- Several weeks later, the user reported anomalous activity within the CRM tool.
- Following an investigation, it was determined the account was compromised and an attacker in another country has gained access to the CRM tool.
- Following the identification of corrupted data and successful recovery from the incident, a lesson learned activity was to be led by the CSO.
