Phishing is one of the most common types of cyberattacks that can seriously impact both individuals and organizations. These kinds of attacks can take place almost anywhere online; text, websites, and social media, but are most commonly seen in the form of email.

The SlashNext State of Phishing Report for 2022, released in October, found that there was a 61% increase in the rate of phishing attacks in just the first 6 months of the year compared to last year’s data. Not only have the rates of phishing attacks increased, there was a 50% increase in attacks on mobile devices, with scams and credential theft at the top of the list of payloads.

With all of this in mind, it is perhaps more important than ever to stay vigilant against phishing attacks.
