New Phishing Wave: How SMEs Can Defend Themselves

In 2025, a new phishing campaign is targeting French SMEs. Cybercriminals send emails impersonating suppliers or authorities, urging recipients to click on fraudulent links.

Why are SMEs targeted?

• Fewer resources for cybersecurity.
• Less employee training on digital risks.
• Sometimes less strict internal processes.

Tips to protect yourself

• Train all staff to recognize suspicious emails.
• Enable two-factor authentication on all accounts.
• Always check sender addresses and links before clicking.
• Use anti-phishing filtering solutions.

Recent attack examples

• Fake invoices sent to accounting departments.
• Emails impersonating the CEO to request a wire transfer.

Conclusion

SMEs must increase their vigilance and adopt simple measures to reduce risks. Awareness remains the best defense against phishing.
