10 Attack Patterns Your Team is Missing

Each pattern shows the exact red flags, industry click-rate benchmarks, and a real SMB story.

Pattern 1

Fake Invoice / Billing Alert

Urgency + fake vendor domain. "Payment due today." Avg click rate 24–32%.

24–32% click rate
Pattern 2

CEO Urgent Request

Personal Gmail from your CEO. "Can't take a call." Gift card or wire request.

10–20% click rate
Pattern 3

Microsoft / Google Auth Alert

Fake domain: "microsoft-auth-portal.com". "Account will be disabled in 24 hours."

18–28% click rate
Pattern 4

Shared Document Lure

"docs-google-share.com" β€” not the real Google domain. "Confidential" bait. Highest open rate.

40–52% click rate
Pattern 5

QR Code / Invoice on Mobile

Scans to a login page. Bypasses your email security gateway entirely.

15–25% click rate
Pattern 6

Vendor Payment Update

Your supplier's "accounting department" asks you to update bank details.

20–30% click rate
Pattern 7

Password Expiration Warning

"[yourcompany]-support.com" β€” not your real IT domain. "Account disabled in 24 hours."

28–38% click rate
Pattern 8

Shipping / Delivery Notification

ZIP attachment from a random domain. "We couldn't deliver your package."

20–28% click rate
Pattern 9

Calendar Intrusion

Auto-added invite from a recognizable name but a wrong domain.

15–22% click rate
Pattern 10

MFA Fatigue / Auth Bombing

15 push notifications in 2 minutes. Attacker bets you'll approve out of frustration.

10–18% click rate

Detection Framework

The SLAM Check β€” 3 Seconds to Catch Any Phishing Email

Your team can run this on every email before clicking, downloading, or replying.

S

Sender

Check the actual sender address, not just the display name. Look for subtle misspellings: paypa1 (lowercase L), micros0ft (zero vs letter o).

L

Links

Hover before you click. Check the URL in the status bar. Does it go to the real brand domain? Shortened URLs + unknown sender = delete.

A

Attachments

Double extensions are a telltale: Invoice.pdf.exe. Unexpected ZIP files from unknown senders are never legitimate.

M

Message

Urgency + secrecy + unusual request = phishing. "Your account is suspended", "Don't call me", "Wire transfer needed today" β€” every time.

Why this matters

The gap between awareness and action

Until your team practices spotting attacks in real time, awareness isn't enough. Here's what the numbers look like.

πŸ“§

91% of malware is delivered via email. Your inbox is the #1 attack surface.

πŸ‘†

Untrained teams click 20–35% of phishing emails. After live training: under 5%.

πŸ’Έ

Average SMB breach cost: $4.9M (IBM 2024). Most start with one click.

⏱

A live session cuts click rates by 70%+ in a single 2-hour session.

"We gave this guide to every new hire and ran a 30-minute SLAM practice session with them in their first week. Six months later, our click rate on simulated phishing tests dropped from 31% to 6%. We didn't need a big platform or expensive tooling β€” just the guide, a team meeting, and the SecurEveryone session to put it all together."
