What is Phishing?
By definition, phishing is “the fraudulent practise of sending emails purporting to be from reputable companies in order to induce individuals to reveal personal information, such as passwords and credit card numbers.”
This is a topic heavily in the news at the moment, with many large organisations, including the NHS, becoming victims to this type of malware attack.
How can this affect your business?
A common misconception amongst small and medium-sized businesses is that due to their size, they won’t become the target of an attack.
This could not be more wrong, and in fact, small and medium-sized businesses are often the ones most targeted by cybercriminals in more sophisticated ways in the modern era. More than 90% of cyberattacks infiltrate an organization via email and according to the FBI, there has been a 400% increase year-over-year in phishing attacks.
These phishing attacks can result in downtime for your business, as well as lost and stolen data which can be held for ransom by cybercriminals.
