The Syrian Electronic Army rang in the New Year by compromising the social media accounts of Skype.
It has yet to be determined how the SEA took control of Skype’s accounts, but we know from previous SEA attacks (@barackobama, the U.S. Marines, the Associated Press and others) that spearphishing is their tool of choice.

Using SP Guard, IT can determine a list of trusted senders and provide this information to staff in a simple and highly effective manner.
