New Helix vishing group emerges in SharePoint data theft attacks
July 9, 2026
Back to all postsA new cybercriminal group named Helix has emerged, targeting Canadian businesses using a vishing technique in combination with attacks on SharePoint servers. This group manipulates victims into revealing their Microsoft account credentials, providing unauthorized access to sensitive business data stored on the compromised SharePoint sites. The threat poses a significant risk to Canadian SMBs, as it exploits the trust between employees and IT support teams. These attacks can lead to data breaches, financial losses, and damage to the organization's reputation. To mitigate this risk, businesses should educate their employees about vishing tactics, implement multi-factor authentication for all Microsoft accounts, keep software up-to-date, and invest in robust cybersecurity solutions.
