Phishing simulation that uncovered critical gaps in user onboarding
A controlled attack demonstrated how processes, routines, and internal trust can open doors that no security tool detects.
Understand what really happens when an attacker takes over a legitimate account inside your company.

In this material, we present:
• How iT.eam’s Red Team compromised an internal account using only social engineering
• Why the onboarding period is one of the moments of highest human exposure
• How a simple form led to credential capture and legitimate internal emails being sent
• How an apparently harmless file (wallpaper.exe) enabled the compromise of a real endpoint
• Which documents, routines, and internal processes can leak during a successful attack
• How to turn a single click into an opportunity for maturity — not an incident

The blind spot this case revealed
The blind spot this case revealed
Most companies have strengthened firewalls, MFA, EDR, and internal policies.
Even so, corporate attacks using social engineering continue to advance because internal accounts create instant trust, and new employees often don’t recognize legitimate patterns.
Operational routines can also become attack vectors without anyone noticing — and the everyday rush encourages risky decisions.

This case demonstrates how an attacker actually behaves once inside the environment — and what that means for your organization.
It is especially relevant for:
• CISOs and CIOs seeking practical evidence of human risk
• Security teams looking for real examples to evolve their Red Teaming programs
• IT managers reviewing onboarding workflows and internal policies
• Organizations that want to understand the impact of successful internal attacks

How iT.eam conducts phishing simulations
How iT.eam conducts phishing simulations
At iT.eam, simulated attacks are more than technical exercises.
They reveal nuances of human behavior, process gaps, and internal patterns that do not appear in scanners or audits.
By replicating each stage of a real attack — from lure creation to the use of a compromised account — our Red Team provides insights that help organizations refine critical processes and strengthen awareness and security culture.
We also help reduce behavior-based attack surfaces and anticipate threats before a real attacker does the same.
