FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a Phishing Attack & Why Are They So Dangerous?

A phishing attack is when a fraudster sends an email to trick the recipient. The
idea is to persuade the target into giving up sensitive information, for
instance, your corporate network credentials, or perhaps to authorize some type
of financial transaction. The vast majority of data breaches against businesses
today begin as phishing attacks.

Just a couple of famous phishing examples:

The infamous Target breach back in 2013 started with a phishing email that gave
attackers a foothold in Target’s business systems for further attacks.
Phishing appeared prominently in the Mueller Report on the 2016 presidential
election hacking.

Some quick phishing statistics:

Over 55% organizations experienced a successful phish last year.
$12 billion is the 5-year global cost of just one type of phishing attack,
business email compromise (BEC).
The average phishing attack costs a mid-sized business $3.86 million.

Types of Phishing Attacks

Our database has thousands of phishing examples, but most fit into one of these
3 categories:

Phishing Emails with Malicious Links: Sometimes a phishing attack is simply an
email with an embedded link. When you click, you either unknowingly activate
malware or are directed to a webpage that looks perfectly legitimate but is
designed to harvest your information.

Phishing Attacks with Malicious Attachments: Phishing attackers often send
emails with attachments containing malware. When you click, look out. Many times
phishing attackers use popular document types such as Microsoft Word or Excel or
even Adobe PDFs. They take advantage of the trust people place in popular
business tools.

Business Email Compromise (BEC): BEC emails, also known as CEO Fraud, typically
don’t use malware but simply try to manipulate the target into sending money.
Traditionally, BEC phishing attacks try to get employees in the finance
department to authorize wire transfers, for instance, to a “vendor” or
“partner.” This kind of attack often uses ‘CEO fraud phishing’ where attackers
pretend to be the CEO or CFO to spur quick action.

What Are Phishing Attack Examples Good For?

Phishing attack examples of real phish provide highly useful intelligence that
helps security teams better pinpoint attacker methods and tactics. They help
protect businesses from malware-bearing phish. Because attacker campaigns change
quickly, real-world phishing examples are a central component of comprehensive
security. Phishing attack examples reveal the latest threat actor maneuvers as
they are being launched.
