Phishing attacks have continued to pose significant threats in 2024, with cybercriminals employing increasingly sophisticated tactics. Key statistics and trends include:
- Prevalence of Phishing Attacks: In the first quarter of 2024, the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) observed 963,994 phishing attacks, marking the lowest quarterly total since Q4 2021. Moreover, this figure is notably lower than the 1,624,144 attacks recorded in Q1 2023, which was a record high. Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) Quarterly Phishing Activity Trends Report: https://www.antiphishing.org
- Financial Impact: Globally, the financial impact of phishing attacks has reached an estimated $3.5 billion in 2024. This includes both direct losses and the costs associated with remediation and recovery efforts.
- Targeted Industries: The financial sector remains a primary target, with 70% of phishing attacks aiming for credential theft to gain unauthorized access to corporate networks and sensitive data. IBM X-Force Threat Intelligence Index 2024: https://www.ibm.com/reports/threat-intelligence
- Emerging Tactics: Cybercriminals are increasingly using QR code phishing scams, known as “quishing,” which involve sending fraudulent QR codes via email attachments to bypass traditional security measures. This technique exploits the rising use of QR codes and the difficulty users face in interpreting where the codes lead until it’s too late.
- Geographical Distribution: Vietnam experienced the highest phishing rate among internet users in 2023 at 18.9%, followed by Peru at 17%, and Taiwan at 15.6%. Phishing attacks originate from diverse global locations and are deliberately hard to source.
These statistics underscore the persistent and evolving nature of phishing threats, highlighting the necessity for organizations to implement robust cybersecurity measures and continuous employee training to mitigate risks.
