Barracuda warns calendar invites are being used for phishing via .ics files
Matched: AI
Attackers are exploiting iCalendar (.ics) files to conduct phishing campaigns, according to Barracuda researchers. Because security tools tend to focus on email body content, malicious links embedded in calendar invites often evade detection. Organisations are advised to apply the same scrutiny to calendar attachments as to other potential phishing vectors and to ensure security controls account for the tactic.
