The Cost Of Phishing #Infographic

In every email we get, there is one in every 99 - in 5 working weeks, this can reach the number of 4.8 phishing emails per employee. Businesses may even receive attacks every day without knowing it because 30% of phishing emails exceed their default security. Phishing is very expensive for attackers. From 2013 to 2016, cyberattacks cost companies worldwide more than $5 billion, and from 2016 to 2017, phishing attacks increased by 65%. But 35% of professionals don't know the meaning of "phishing." Phishing is when an attacker sends an email, manipulates the recipient to open a file or clicks on a link - the result is that the malware is automatically downloaded to their device, or the fraudulent website collects the login credentials and causes the information to leak.
