Phishing remains a favored tactic among cybercriminals to entice employees into sharing confidential information through fraudulent impersonation or spoofing techniques. Cybercriminals employ these attacks to deceive users and pilfer their credentials. Research reveals that over 90% of cyberattacks occur through email, underscoring the need for employee vigilance.
Bad actors frequently utilize readily available tools such as Google Translate and may impersonate external IT support or even the CEO, luring unsuspecting employees to follow fraudulent links in text messages or call scam numbers. Impersonation attacks in phishing have surged by 64% between Q3 and Q4 2022, as per our research findings.
Phishing emails are often tailored to specific individuals within an organization and can result in business email compromise. Employees must receive training and stay updated on the latest behaviors and practices required to thwart these attacks and bolster business resilience.
