New report shows phishing attacks in Malaysia increases since pandemic starts. [Newspaper] (2021)
Abstract
SECURITY company Sophos has recently published its latest survey report titled "Phishing Insights, 2021", a survey that looks at the experience and understanding of what phishing is in organisations around the world in 2020. The phishing survey polled 5,400 IT decision makers in 30 countries across Europe, the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Central Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. "Phishing has been around for over 25 years and remains an effective cyberattack technique. One of the reasons for its success is its ability to continuously evolve and diversify, tailoring attacks to topical issues or concerns, such as the pandemic, and playing on human emotions and trust," explained Sophos' principal research scientist, Chester Wisniewski. It is very assuring to know, from the report, cybersecurity education is not neglected in Malaysia as 97 per cent organisations in Malaysia run cybersecurity awareness programmes with their employees to address phishing.
