Security Nudge. Be Aware Of Phishing Attack Risks. Sponsored By CybSafe.


Listen Later

Cybercriminals are becoming increasingly adept at phishing, with a significant rise in successful attacks targeting employees. Last year, 8.4 out of every 1,000 users clicked on a phishing link—nearly triple the rate from the previous year. This isn't just about suspicious emails; malicious links are prevalent across the internet, and attackers are leveraging generative AI to create increasingly convincing imitations of legitimate business communications and websites. While you've likely been warned about fake package delivery notices and bank alerts, it's crucial to understand that the most successful phishing attacks often impersonate cloud or other technology vendors—the very tools you rely on every day at work. These tech-related phishing links were clicked 27% of the time last year, according to Netskope's latest Cloud and Threat Report, significantly higher than fake bank or social media links. Don't be fooled by sophisticated-looking emails or websites, especially those related to technology services. Always consider the context: Are you expecting this communication? Does it align with your current work projects? And when in doubt, contact your IT or technical support team directly to verify the legitimacy of any suspicious communication. The 60-second "Security Nudge" is brought to you by CybSafe, developers of the Human Risk Management Platform. Learn more at https://cybsafe.com
