Mikey Malware's Playbook

01

SMS Phishing (Smishing)

Text messages that look like they're from banks, delivery services, or IT departments. Your employees are trained to scrutinize emails but trust text messages implicitly. Mikey Malware exploits that gap.

02

Social Media Exploitation

He studies your employees' LinkedIn profiles to craft targeted attacks. He knows their job titles, their colleagues' names, and which projects they're working on — all from public information.

03

Rogue App Distribution

Fake versions of legitimate apps, malicious QR codes, and compromised WiFi networks at coffee shops and airports. Mikey Malware targets the hours your employees spend working outside your secure office network.

What Happened When Mikey Malware
Hit a Phoenix Business

An employee at a Phoenix real estate agency received a text message that appeared to be from their IT department: "Your email password expires in 2 hours. Update here." The link led to a perfect replica of their Microsoft 365 login page. The employee entered their credentials from their phone during a lunch break. Within 30 minutes, Mikey Malware had accessed the employee's email, downloaded every client contract from the past year, reset passwords for three other business applications, and set up email forwarding to capture all future communications. The agency didn't notice for two weeks — until clients started receiving fraudulent wire instructions for property closings.
