levy phishing, spear phishing, and whaling attacks on a local competitor. The purpose of the
attacks is to gain unauthorized access to the local company’s business systems at a later date. In
this scenario, the nature of the event is the malicious action by the international organization.
The spam email that is received and accessed by employees of the local competitor results in
users being tricked into providing their logon credentials. The hackers then use the credentials to
gain access to the local competitor’s business systems and information. It is critical that the
events of the attacks be detected quickly because the local competitor is planning a marketing
action, and the international organization could use this hacked information to get to their
product or service to the market sooner.
