The Easiest Way to Hack Your Agency

Written by Ryan Smith | June 11, 2025

The Rundown

Cybersecurity expert Ryan Smith warned that phishing and business email compromises are rising threats — largely because they’re easy, emotional, and profitable for attackers.

The Context

  • Phishing preys on fear and urgency to trick users into handing over credentials or access.
  • These attacks often lead to full-blown business email compromises, causing financial and data losses.
  • Smith stressed the importance of email security tools like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, and — most critically — ongoing employee training.
  • He also called for clear incident response plans and constant monitoring for red flags.

Why it Matters

Your company’s best defense might not be high-tech — it’s your people. Training employees to spot red flags and fostering a cyber-aware culture are essential steps in closing the human vulnerability gap that phishing exploits.
