Dropbox phishing utilises your awareness of Dropbox and the trust you place in the service. In the past, related attacks have been targeted at Google Docs and Google Drive users.
Dropbox phishing relies on you clicking an important link in the inbox and then it sends you to a fake login page hosted on the genuine site.
Using Multi-Factor Authentication during file-sharing in the workplace is recommended to avoid the risk. This way, you add an additional layer of security and can be easily followed by the staff too.
These are the most common phishing attacks that you have to watch out for. Even then you may not be able to recognise every phishing email, as phishing emails continue to evolve and adopt new forms and techniques. So, it becomes imperative that businesses conduct security awareness training and implement cybersecurity measures to stay on top of phishing evolution.
