I’m often asked if cyber criminals are getting better at impersonating legitimate organisations in order to sneak their phishing attacks through. Yes, they absolutely are, but I also argue that the inverse is true too: legitimate organisations frequently communicate in ways that are indistinguishable from a phishing attack! I can name countless examples of banks, delivery services and even government agencies sending communication that I was convinced<\/em> was a phish, but turned out to be legit. I once had an argument with an agent from our own tax office on precisely that basis. After having shown all the hallmarks of being a scammer, she instead turned out to be making a legitimate inquiry. And if you need more convincing that even I can’t tell the difference between a scam and legit comms, look no further than my own recent failure to spot a phish that successfully extracted my Mailchimp credentials<\/a>, including the 2FA code!<\/p>\n

I don’t mind recognising that I struggle with scams, and frankly, it creates a lot more empathy for the masses out there who don’t spend their days thinking about cybersecurity. These are the sorts of folks who use Have I Been Pwned<\/a> and often land there a bit frazzled, looking for answers after learning they’ve been breached in some nasty incident. They need a proactive defence against this style of attack that can protect them when the human controls fail, as they recently failed me. That’s why today, I’m very happy to announce a new HIBP partner, Gaurdio<\/a>! You’ll find them located on each dedicated breach page, and on the home page of your personal dashboard<\/a>: <\/p>\n

\"Welcoming<\/figure>\n

We’ve now turned the above recommendation on for all US-based visitors and highlighted them for all audiences regardless of locale on the partners page<\/a>. We believe the service they offer makes a meaningful difference to the security posture of our users, and we are happy to include them here to complement the unique services provided by our existing partners. So it’s a big welcome to Gaurdio, and I look forward to sharing more about the work they’re doing to protect us all in the future. Check out what Guardio does on their dedicated HIBP page now<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
