Hi Pote,
Here are some interesting points about social engineering:
1. 76% of organizations said they experienced phishing attacks in 2017.
2. Nearly half of infosec professionals said that the rate of attacks increased from 2016 to 2017.
3. The impacts of phishing were more broadly felt than in 2016, with an 80+% increase in reports of malware infections, account compromise, and data loss related to phishing attacks.
4. UK organizations are more likely than their US counterparts to rely on once-a-year training models and passive security awareness training tools (like videos, newsletters, and email notifications). US organizations — which favor interactive training methods delivered on a monthly or quarterly basis — are more than twice as likely as UK organizations to report quantifiable results from their efforts.
Haitao – Good numbers. All rising. I see businesses realizing social engineering, previously looked upon as ~bad form~ or ~dirty fighting~ reserved to nasty exploitations of ~little old ladies~ on home PC’s now beginning to focus on spear phishing and phishing in general as the rising means to gain a foothold in a business environment.
