Phishing
There were an estimated 255 million phishing attempts in 2022, a 61% jump over the prior year.
Worse yet, more than 70% of these emails were opened by the recipient. Is there anyone anywhere who hasn’t received a suspicious-looking email — or worse, an email that appears to be from a trusted party but isn’t? This is why companies fear phishing — because it’s easy to dupe someone into opening a malware-laden email and then sharing that email with another, spreading the threat. So, it’s hardly surprising that 90% of corporate security breaches are the result of phishing.
Ransomware
66% of survey respondents reported falling victim to ransomware, and smaller businesses were affected more severely.
Among companies with 250 to 500 employees, seven out of 10 respondents (70%) acknowledged that a ransomware attack had damaged their business, while 73% of companies with 1,000 to 5,000 employees admitted the same. Among large enterprises with a workforce of 10,000 or greater, fewer than half (46%) were harmed by ransomware.

Spoofing
Nearly all respondents (91%) were aware of email spoofing attempts and close to half (44%) saw a spoofing increase in 2022.
The increase was even more pronounced among government agencies and other public institutions, with 54% reporting more frequent email spoofing. Web domain spoofing is also widespread, with companies uncovering repeated attempts to clone their websites. On average, companies identified 10 such attempts last year.
