State of the Phish
This infographic reveals that despite rising awareness of hybrid workplace risks, user security behaviors have not significantly improved. In 2022, phishing attacks surged, with a 76% increase in direct financial losses. Familiar branding was exploited in 30 million malicious emails, while one-third of users took risky actions when faced with threats. More than 600,000 telephone-oriented attack delivery attempts occurred daily at peak. Alarmingly, over one-third of employees could not define basic terms like “malware” or “ransomware,” and only 35% of organizations ran phishing simulations. With 90% of ransomware victims paying ransoms, the report underscores the urgent need for consistent, organization-wide training.
