π¨ Ring Ring! Who's That? Sneaky Trick Alert! π¨
Hey Cyber Heros! π Ever get a phone call π from someone you don't know asking for "the boss" or "the person in charge of IT"? Maybe they sound super official? π€
Hold the phone! (Literally! π)
Sometimes, βBad Actorsβ (we call them social engineers π£) make these calls. They might ask: "Hi, can you put me through to the Head of IT?" or "Is Tim still in charge of paying the bills?"
Why is this sneaky? They're fishing! π£ They want YOU to tell them exactly who the important people are.
Why shouldn't you help? If you confirm a name ("Yup, Alex's the guy!") or transfer the call, you might be handing that trickster the keys to the castle! π° Oops! They can use that info to pretend they know Alex, send fake emails, or try other scams on other people within Aspire! π±
Be a Security Cyber Hero! Here's your power move: π¦ΈββοΈπ¦ΈββοΈ
DON'T Confirm Names/Titles: If they ask "Is Antony the boss?", just say, "I can't share employee details."
DON'T Transfer Blindly: Never transfer a cold caller directly to someone specific if you don't know the caller is legit.
DO Offer to Take a Message: "If you give me your name, number, and what your call is about, I can pass along the message." (Real callers won't mind!)
DO Tell Someone: Let your DMS or Aspire Security team know if a call feels fishy! π
β¨ Remember: Protecting our people helps protect the whole team! Stay sharp, stay safe, and don't let the tricksters win! β¨
