Phishing Fears Ramp Up On Email, Collaboration Platform
DARKReading, February 22nd, 2023
It's a banner year for attacks coming through traditional email as well as newer collaboration technologies, such as Slack and Microsoft Teams. What's next?
Phishing and other messaging-based attacks continue to be a pervasive threat, with 97% of companies seeing at least one email phishing attack in the past 12 months and three-quarters of firms expecting significant costs from an email-based attack.
That's according to the "State of Email Security" (SOES) report, based on a survey of 1,700 IT professionals published by Mimecast this week. The report also found that the most significant email-borne threats continue to be phishing, ransomware, and spoofing.
