HR departments may not look like prime targets for malicious cyberattacks, but there are nefarious forces at play that don’t leave any opportunities sitting on the table. Cybersecurity firm Socket recently uncovered malicious Chrome extensions on the browser’s Web Store that targeted platforms like Workday, SuccessFactors, and NetSuite. These extensions have already been installed over 2,300 times, and while that may seem like a relatively small number, it highlights just how many of these cybersecurity threats manage to evade detection.
This Chrome extension’s social engineering attack may not fall under the HR purview, but it is important for teams to be aware of the threats that persist online, which could catch unsuspecting employees by surprise.
