Check Point said as much as 19% of all brand phishing attempts related to Microsoft, as threat actors sought to capitalize on large numbers of employees still working remotely during the covid pandemic. DHL assumed the second spot in the ranking, figuring in the top 10 ranking for the first time, It had 9% of all phishing attempts related to the company.
TECHNOLOGY TOP TARGET
The report said the most likely industry to be targeted by brand phishing was technology, followed by banking and then social network. “This illustrates a broad spread of some of the best-known and most-used consumer sectors, particularly during the coronavirus pandemic, whereby individuals are grappling with remote working technology, potential changes to finances, and an increased use of social media,” said Check Point.
