A new report by phishing protection company SlashNext Inc. highlights a significant increase in phishing attacks in the second half of 2024, with an eightfold rise.
The rise in credential phishing attacks is attributed to the availability of advanced phishing kits on the dark web, as well as the use of generative artificial intelligence.
Email-based attacks saw a threefold surge, driven by sophisticated techniques and AI-generated targeted messages.
The report emphasizes the need for organizations to implement real-time, adaptive security measures to combat the evolving nature of phishing campaigns.
