Phishing campaigns affect many companies in the UK
It takes less than two minutes for a phishing campaign to net its first victim, according to the report by Verizon. The report looks at analyses of almost 80,000 security incidents on thousands of companies during 2014 and it shows that within many companies, about 25% of those who received a phishing email were likely to open it. In this way attackers trick people into opening affected messages and are able to get hold of login credentials that could be used to trespass on networks.
