Getting hacked is without a doubt a disaster for any organisation! One of the easiest ways to get through your organisations IT defences is to simply ask some employees for their login details… The act of impersonating a legitimate organisation and asking for details such as username passwords is commonly known as phishing.
Phishing attempts are very common because they work. Some attempts are really realistic and would likely trick most of us into giving out personal information without even realising. The good thing about phishing is that it requires you to action it. If we are careful and know what to look for we can prevent these attacks, however, all it takes is one stressed employee that blindly clicks on a link to grant access to your organisation’s sensitive data.
