What is a Phishing Attack in Odoo ERP?

For our 🔒🛡️🖥️ SECURITY OCTOBER 🔒🛡️🖥️, today we start with Phishing. A very simple but effective method to hack. The most successful attacks falling into this category. It includes a human engineering part as well.


During the ODOO experience 2024, a story from the ODOO HQ has been told: An attacker tried a deepfake video conference where he pretended to be the ODOO CEO Fabien Pinckaers with the financial team and initialize a bogus financial transaction. Luckily the ODOO team member was cautious and did not approve the transaction. Scary!


In the context of Odoo, a phishing attack occurs when attackers trick users into revealing sensitive information like login credentials or financial data, often through fake emails or websites designed to look like legitimate Odoo portals.


🔐 How to Prevent Phishing Attacks:


  •     Always verify the sender's email address before clicking any links and check the links as well.
  •     Use two-factor authentication (2FA) to add an extra layer of security.
  •     Regularly update your Odoo system and train your team to recognize phishing attempts.
  •    When in doubt, double check the information / request!


Stay vigilant, and keep your Odoo environment secure!
