Phishing threats continue to be the most frequently used form of cybercrime, accounting for 34% of all complaints received by the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).1 This means costly trouble for individuals and businesses alike. For those wondering how phishing maintains its top position each year, the most obvious reason is because the landscape is constantly changing.
Cybercriminals constantly devise new phishing tactics or put a fresh twist on an existing hoax so that they can continue to profit. The only way to outfox sophisticated new phishing tactics is by having a solid email security partner in place. However, as a Managed Service Provider (MSP), staying informed about the most prevalent phishing threats can help you better educate clients and prospects about the services they need.
