Employee Support and Management

Employees who fall victim need support, not punishment:

Psychological Support: Victims often experience:

  • Shame and embarrassment
  • Fear of job loss
  • Anxiety about reputation
  • Anger at being deceived
  • Stress from investigation
  • Concern about colleagues' opinions

Provide counseling resources and reassurance that sophisticated attacks can fool anyone.

Practical Support:

  • Clear communication about job security
  • Legal support if personally affected
  • Time off if needed
  • Protection from internal blame
  • Assistance with personal security
  • Recognition for reporting quickly

Team Dynamics:

  • Address team morale impacts
  • Prevent victim blaming
  • Use as learning opportunity
  • Maintain confidentiality
  • Rebuild trust carefully
  • Strengthen team cohesion
