This Covid Phishing Attack included the following social engineering techniques:


  1. Topical subject (Covid) to be consistent with current news.
  2. An email thread Reply plus Forward used to create social proof.
  3. Executive impersonation to add authority to request.
  4. A fake attachment with false errors so you click the link provided.
  5. Worksafe BC logo to appear legitimate.
  6. Links masked with worksafe.bc-en.ca to appear correct.


How to spot this was a phishing email:


  1. Was this an email you expected to receive? No - Be cautious
  2. The sender named email address was suspicious (not from the correct address)
  3. The link provided (if checked/mouse hover) was directing to http://worksafe.bc-en.ca/...
