Most organizations fell victim to phishing in 2021, per new report

A recent report shows that 83% of all organizations ⁠— and 91% of those in the UK ⁠— were compromised by at least one phishing attack in 2021, while 78% of organizations worldwide were targeted by ransomware attacks that were initiated by email.

Remote and hybrid working is believed to be a primary reason for the relatively recent spike in cyberattacks, as only 37% of organizations are taking steps to educate their employees on best practices for remote working.
