DDoS attacks are evolving, targeting human brains via email flooding instead of IT systems. Cybercriminals exploit our cognitive vulnerabilities by sending legitimate-looking messages from compromised services, overwhelming users who may then make poor decisions.

Organizations should adopt email security measures and provide constant user training to mitigate these risks.
