2023 spear-phishing trends

GET THE REPORT NOW


SPEAR-PHISHING INSIGHTS

Based on propriety spear-phishing data and analysis, as well as market data from
1,350 IT decision makers, this report explores the impact and costs of
spear-phishing attacks on organizations around the globe over the past 12
months.
50%
of organizations were victims of spear phishing in the last 12 months.

22%
of organizations had at least one email account compromised in 2022
5
Number of spear-phishing emails a typical organization receives each day

370
average number of malicious emails sent from each compromised account


SPEAR PHISHING IS LOW-VOLUME BUT HIGH IMPACT.

In an analysis of 50 billion emails across 3.5 million mailboxes, Barracuda
researchers uncovered nearly 30,000,000 spear-phishing emails. While these
emails make up less than 0.1% of all emails sent, but they are responsible for
66% of all breaches.


ORGANIZATIONS ARE FEELING THE EFFECTS.

Nearly every victim of spear-phishing in the last 12 months saw impacts on their
organization, including malware infections, stolen data, account takeover,
monetary loss, and reputational damage.


THREAT DETECTION AND RESPONSE REMAINS A CHALLENGE.

On average, organizations take nearly 100 hours to identify, respond to, and
remediate a post-deliver email threat — 43 hours to detect the attack and 56
hours to respond and remediate after the attack is detected.


HAVING MORE REMOTE WORKERS SLOWS DETECTION AND RESPONSE.

Companies with more than a 50% remote workforce also reported that it takes
longer to both detect and response to email security incidents — 55 hours to
detect and 63 hours to response and mitigate, compared to an average of 36 hours
and 51 hours respectively for organizations with fewer remote workers.
