Accounting for nearly a quarter of reported incidents in Australia, phishing is a broad category of socialengineering with several variations. These socialengineering techniques tricked employees into revealing their login credentials, which allowed attackers to access additional systems and data.
To be clear, all administrator accounts — regardless of use case — represent accounts with elevated levels of power and access and should be a focus of heightened security controls. Identity administrator accounts have elevated permissions to deploy, configure, and modify relevant identity systems.
