Phishing Campaign Exploits Open

Redirection Vulnerability In ‘Indeed.com’

By Brett Raybould, EMEA Solutions Architect, Menlo Security

Phishing remains one of the most prevalent challenges facing organisations, with more than three billion
malicious emails estimated to be sent around the world every day.

No-one is immune to the threat of phishing. From aeronautics firms, major banks, and pharmaceutical
companies to household brands like Facebook, Google and Sony Pictures, enterprises of all shapes and
sizes have fallen victim to the world’s most common cyber threat in recent years. In fact, owing to the
prevalence of the problem, Verizon’s 2023 Data Breach Investigations Report estimates that more than
a third (36%) of all data breaches involve phishing.

Of course, it’s not just the sheer volume of attacks that is worrying. Concerns are more likely to focus on
the heightening complexity of techniques that attackers are using. Phishing attacks are becoming
alarmingly sophisticated.
