Well, they have evolved and become more like a chameleon, hard to spot and easy to fool these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Almost everyone is at risk of falling victim to phishing attacks. It&#8217;s a startling reality that, with the click of a link, anyone\u2014from the tech-savvy to the average internet user\u2014can unwittingly give cybercriminals access to their most private information. This article will shed light on just how widespread phishing has become and the evolving tactics these digital predators use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the staggering number of malicious emails sent daily to the sophisticated impersonation of trusted brands, we&#8217;ll navigate through the key statistics that paint a clear picture of the phishing threats looming in our inbox and beyond. Whether it&#8217;s a seemingly innocent email from a well-known company or a cleverly disguised request for information, understanding these risks is the first step in safeguarding our digital lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Could that salary increase email asking for your bank details be really from your boss? As much as I really hope that it&#8217;s real, I&#8217;d think twice before clicking. Attackers are after your credentials, and they\u2019re using cutting-edge technologies like AI to get them.

Close behind, social media platforms were targeted by about 22.3% of phishing attempts. Similarly, web-based software services and webmail also accounted for 22.3% of the attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Phishing Threats Report, analyzing key trends from about 13 billion emails analyzed by Cloudflare over a year, highlights several findings. For instance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Businesses are more exposed to multi-channel phishing, which goes after users across more than just email.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deceptive links emerged as the top phishing strategy, making up almost 36% of the threats.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Predominantly, attackers impersonated a small group of 20 renowned brands, including Microsoft, Google, Salesforce, and Amazon, to carry out their schemes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>35% of ransomware attacks come through email.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There&#8217;s a noticeable increase in identity deception threats, with millions successfully bypassing email authentication methods like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ai-usage-in-phishing-attacks\">AI Usage in Phishing Attacks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/info.zscaler.com\/resources-industry-reports-threatlabz-phishing-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">2023 Phishing Report from Zscaler&#8217;s ThreatLabs<\/a>, the swift advancement and adoption of AI-powered software is set to enable phishing attempts that are nearly impossible to detect. This is because AI-generation tools are becoming increasingly capable of producing content that sounds convincingly human. That\u2019s because there\u2019s a financial incentive to steal your credentials. CrowdStrike has uncovered a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crowdstrike.com\/blog\/crowdstrike-2024-global-threat-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">market for stolen identities<\/a>. Access brokers are advertising valid credentials on the dark web, and the volume of ads is increasing significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>AI technologies, including tools similar to ChatGPT, have the potential to create polymorphic malware and other types of malicious code, as well as counterfeit login pages, with little to no input or coding knowledge required from the user.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>According to Cofense, there&#8217;s an expected rise in TrickBot activity in 2024, with new trends in how this malware is delivered. Organizations are likely to see an uptick in campaigns that utilize CHM and LNK files as methods for distributing TrickBot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Additionally, Cofense anticipates the arrival of new, cost-effective malware downloaders on the market. The current high prices of malware downloaders are paving the way for more affordable options, which could significantly impact the phishing landscape by making malicious software more accessible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-most-common-phishing-attack-targets\">Most Common Phishing Attack Targets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Email attackers frequently pretend to be one of the top 20 global brands <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudflare.com\/lp\/2023-phishing-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">51.7%<\/a> of the time, with Microsoft being the most common impersonation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ibm.com\/reports\/threat-intelligence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">26%<\/a> of phishing attacks targeted public-facing applications, as reported by IBM.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Phishing attacks are responsible for 36% of all data breaches in the US.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Furthermore, every year, 83% of organizations fall victim to at least one phishing attack.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the third quarter of 2023, a significant surge in phishing and malware attacks.
