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" — 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" — 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 — 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" — 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.

📧

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

👆

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

💸

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 — just the guide, a team meeting, and the SecurEveryone session to put it all together."
