What Is Vishing?
Vishing, short for voice and phishing, is a type of scam in which cybercriminals use phone calls to deceive and manipulate people.
Is vishing easy to detect?
No, detecting vishing has become increasingly difficult. Technological advancements and more sophisticated tactics have significantly enhanced the deception, making it challenging to identify fraudulent calls.
Common Vishing Tactics
Unlike traditional phishing, which primarily relies on email, vishing exploits voice communication's more intimate and direct nature.
Coercion And Urgency
Caller ID Spoofing
Ghost Calls
Vishing scammers often use fear or a sense of urgency to trick their victims. They may pretend that there is a problem with your bank account or that you are in legal trouble and must act immediately. Unlike legitimate organizations, these fraudsters aim to disrupt rational thinking and force quick decisions over the phone.
Another common tactic is caller ID spoofing, in which attackers disguise their phone numbers to appear as if they're calling from trusted entities, such as well-known businesses or government agencies. This deceit aims to lower your defenses by creating a false sense of security.
The strategy of ghost calls involves making brief calls and hanging up before the recipient can answer, prompting a call back out of curiosity or concern. This multi-layered approach is particularly effective in identifying individuals who are more likely to engage in conversation.
Is the following statement True or False:
Vishing scams are always easy to detect.
Vishing scams have become harder to spot due to their increasing complexity and the use of advanced technologies like AI. These enhancements allow scammers to sound more convincing, making it challenging to distinguish fraudulent calls from genuine ones.

Is the following statement True or False:
It is safe to provide personal information to unsolicited callers claiming to be from your bank.
It is never safe to give out your personal or sensitive financial information over the phone to unsolicited callers, even if they claim to be from a trusted institution like your bank. Scammers often impersonate legitimate organizations to trick you into divulging your details. Always verify the caller's identity by contacting the organization through official channels.

Understanding VoIP
Vishing attempts are prolific due to the widespread usage of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) services. VoIP allows for easy and cost-effective communication over the internet, but it also provides malicious actors with the ability to:
Conduct Large Vishing Operations
Spoof Caller ID
Mask Location and Identity
Vishing is a growing threat that VoIP has enabled. VoIP allows scammers to execute large-scale phishing operations with minimal effort and expense.
VoIP services facilitate caller ID spoofing, allowing attackers to impersonate legitimate businesses, government agencies, or acquaintances, thereby increasing the likelihood of deceiving their targets.
These technologies enable scammers to mask their true location and identity, making it challenging for authorities to trace and stop them.
What is VoIP?
VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol. VoIP enables internet-based calls, often used for cost-saving or flexibility, but can also be exploited for phone scams like vishing.

What is Caller ID Spoofing?

The manipulation of a caller ID to appear as a recognized or trustworthy number.
A social engineering tactic used by scammers to steal personal information.

A type of malware.
Signs of Vishing Attacks
Despite their complexity, vishing attempts often share certain telltale signs. Recognizing the signs of vishing is crucial in preventing personal and organizational data breaches.
Robotic Behaviour
High-Pressure Tactics
Requesting Confidential Information
This is when the caller sounds like a robot or keeps repeating the same things without really talking to you or adapting to the conversation's flow. If they fail to answer straightforward questions or their responses seem disconnected from the discussion, it’s likely a scam.
Vishers often create a sense of urgency, pressuring you to act quickly. They may claim that immediate action is required to fix a problem or avoid a threat. Legitimate organizations typically allow time for decision-making and verification.
Legitimate entities will not ask for sensitive information like passwords, PINs, or social security numbers over an unsolicited call.
What is NOT a telltale sign of a vishing attack?
An expected call from a trusted source is not a vishing sign. Vishing involves unsolicited requests for information, urgency, or odd caller behavior.

While technical measures can help protect against vishing, awareness and education are the best defense mechanisms.
