News – How much phishing is too much phishing?

October 19, 2020 by Akshay Shendarkar Leave a Comment

A review of the Phishing attacks for the Year 2020 has been summarized below:
A report by Interisle Consulting Group and Illumintel states some major facts about the phishing landscape in 2020.
First off, the exact size of the phishing problem remains unknown. However, the problem is bigger than it seems.
Most phishing is focused on a small number of domain registrars and registries and hosting providers.
Of all the maliciously registered domains, 65% is used within 5 days of registration.
Around 9% of phishing attacks are conducted on a small number of subdomain service providers.

The amount of phishing attacks discovered every year continues to increase. It takes advantage of our cognitive biases and fools us into giving away our details. When these biases are combined with clever tactics used by cybercriminals, the attacks become even more effective.
