Phishing exploits communications platforms
Phishing attacks are simple and highly effective. Many large-scale cyberattacks start with phishing and while a decade ago, phishing emails may have been relatively easy to spot, phishing techniques have evolved with targeted campaigns so sophisticated that they can bypass most security solutions. You no longer need to be an experienced hacker to send out a successful phishing campaign. Automated customisation makes it easy for bad actors to launch highly tailored attacks even on small businesses.
