Phishing aimed at Mac users has changed shape this year. The attacks we’re warning clients about now arrive as calendar invites, fake “fix your Mac” pages and convincing copies of Apple’s own launch pages. The most effective ones don’t break into the Mac at all. They get a member of staff to run the attacker’s code for them, and Apple’s newest warnings are already being sidestepped.
The Mac Phishing Playbook explains what these attacks look like, what your staff should do when something seems off, and what leadership should put in place this month. It finishes with a leadership checklist and a one-page staff card you can hand straight to your team.
