New Release: Email Security Awareness Training- Empower your team to proactively combat email threats with easy-to-launch phishing simulations and assessments
Bala Yogesh – December 12th, 2018
Cybersecurity Ventures’ report highlights that 91 percent of cyber attacks begin with spear-phishing emails, which are used to infect organizations with ransomware, a point that Idan Udi Edry, CEO of Trustifi, seems to agree on.
Edry told INN that at the end of 2017 he expected that emails would be the main source of attacks and data breaches, and noted that 2018 proved him right.
“[It] doesn’t matter if cyber criminals used phishing or malware as their method of intrusion. I was correct in assuming attacks and data breaches would continue to start from email domains in 2018,” Edry told INN via email.
Edry highlighted attacks on major companies such as Adidas (ETR:ADS), Under Armour’s (NYSE:UAA) MyFitnessPal app, Facebook and Marriott (NASDAQ:MAR), and how they exposed the emails of hundreds of consumers.
However, Edry said that the critical attack this year was the email compromise of the top four National Republican Congressional Committee officials right before the midterm elections. (Con’t)
