Giant home furnishing retailer Ikea recently faced a significant phishing attack in which hackers compromised legitimate corporate email accounts and replied to messages containing malicious documents.

This so-called reply-chain email attack was described as an “ongoing” attack by an internal Ikea message, which said: “The attack can come via email from someone that you work with, from any external organization, and as a reply to an already ongoing conversation.”
