A new evolution in phishing tactics is exploiting legitimate SaaS platforms to carry out phone scams (vishing). This method bypasses detection technologies focused on malicious links by shifting the attack to voice-based social engineering, thereby reducing the effectiveness of traditional solutions. Cybercriminals are using authorized SaaS services to avoid blocks and enhance the credibility of fraudulent calls. The main impact lies in the evasion of security mechanisms based on URL or email analysis, making detection more complex.
