No Link, No Attachment, No Problem: How Modern Attacks Slip Into Email Inboxes
Date: Wednesday, October 21, 2026 at 11am PT / 2pm ET
Cybersecurity Spotlight
Education institutions run on email. It's how staff coordinate, how vendors get paid, and how families stay in the loop—and attackers know it. The threats causing the most damage in education today rarely carry a malicious link or attachment. Instead, they impersonate a dean asking for a wire transfer, a vendor updating banking details, or an HR portal requesting a password. Because there's nothing technically "bad" to scan for, these messages slip past the filters most institutions rely on.
This session walks through the attacks schools are actually seeing, using real examples of business email compromise, account takeover, and payroll fraud. Abnormal AI will break down how each attack works in plain terms, why traditional defenses miss it, and what education leaders can do about it right now. You'll leave with concrete steps you can put in place before the next attempt lands.
Join this session to see what's targeting your institution and how to stop it.
Attendees will learn:
- The email attacks targeting schools and universities and why standard filters miss them
- The warning signs of impersonation, account takeover, and payroll fraud
- The concrete steps education leaders can take to strengthen defenses right now
