Hot Take:

Looks like cybercriminals are now taking voice acting classes to deliver phishing scams. They’re moving from “You’ve won a million dollars!” to “Your backup license has expired,” and I must say, it’s a step up in creativity. Next thing you know, they’ll be auditioning for the next big Hollywood blockbuster!

Key Points:

  • Phishing attempt disguised as a voicemail notification.
  • WAV file attachment containing a message about an expired backup license.
  • The scam impersonates a representative from Veeam Software.
  • Recipient had no affiliation with the alleged company or IT environment.
  • No personal targeting, indicating a broader phishing campaign.
