Many users are faced with multiple phishing messages every day, but few are trained in how to recognize or respond to them, according to a study released today.
In a survey of 250 attendees at last month's Black Hat USA conference in Las Vegas, more than two-thirds (69 percent) of security professionals said they encounter phishing messages that get past anti-spam filters and reach users’ email boxes at least a few times a week. Almost a quarter of the respondents said they see such messages in users’ mailboxes multiple times every day, according to the study, which was conducted by security firm PhishMe.
