The Legal Implications of Phishing Attacks What You Need to Know

In 2019, Wipro, one of India's leading IT services companies, faced a significant phishing attack that compromised its internal systems. Cybercriminals targeted Wipro's employees with spear-phishing emails, tricking them into revealing login credentials. The attackers then used these credentials to infiltrate the company's network, gaining access to sensitive customer data and launching further phishing campaigns against Wipro's clients. This breach highlighted the vulnerabilities in even well-established IT firms and had severe repercussions. Wipro was compelled to strengthen its cybersecurity protocols and faced scrutiny from clients and regulators. The incident underscored the critical importance of robust cybersecurity measures and employee training in preventing phishing attacks, serving as a cautionary tale for other organizations about the potential damage and legal consequences of such cyber threats.
