New data from the Australian government’s Scamwatch site shows that phishing and vishing topped the list of scam types used to trick Australians into becoming a scam’s next victim.
Rarely do you get to see a breakdown of all scams reported to a government entity. But the Scamwatch site , hosting by the Australian government helps paint a picture of exactly what kinds of scams are being experienced by everyday people.
According to the data:
The use of phishing, vishing, and SMiShing – along with social engineering tactics – has long proven to be a viable method of seeing scams and cyber attacks successful. The reported scams mirror what organizations are seeing in 2020 and into this year – phishing remains top of mind for cybercriminals as *the* most viable means to get in front of your users, and social engineering tactics aren’t going anywhere, as they are the gateway to establishing credibility, creating a sense of urgency, and getting the victim to act in the attackers best interest.
Would your users fall for convincing phishing attacks? Take the first step now and find out before bad actors do. Plus, see how you stack up against your peers with phishing Industry Benchmarks. The Phish-prone percentage is usually higher than you expect and is great ammo to get budget.
