Defending the C Suite
How a Fortune 500 Tech Leader Stopped a Multi-million Impersonation Attack.
As a global leader in semiconductor technology, Constella’s customer operates at the intersection of high-value intellectual property and geopolitical sensitivity. Following the announcement of a strategic acquisition, the company’s attack surface exploded.
The CISO identified three critical threat vectors that traditional security tools (Firewalls, EDR) could not see:
1. Executive Doxxing: The CEO’s home address and family details were circulated on Telegram channels and dark web forums, escalating physical security concerns.
2. Synthetic Impersonation: Threat actors created convincing “deepfake” audio clips of the CFO to authorize fraudulent wire transfers.
3. Brand Erosion: A network of typo-squatted domains emerged, hosting fake press releases designed to manipulate the company’s stock price.
