Attack types

계정 탈취ATO

Definition

Seizing a real account with stolen credentials to attack from the inside.

For executives (CEO·CISO)

Mail now comes from a real account, so it passes auth and reputation, then spreads internally and into VEC — the most dangerous "trusted sender" attack. Commonly missed: beyond login protection (MFA), detect post-takeover anomalies (impossible travel, mass sends, new auto-forward rules).
