SpyCloud Data Shows Corporate Users 3x More Likely to Be Targeted by Phishing Than by Malware

SpyCloud reports a sharp rise in phishing-driven identity exposures — a 400% year-over-year increase in successfully phished identities across 28+ million recaptured records — with nearly 40% containing business email addresses; phishing is now cited as the leading entry point for ransomware (35% of infections). The release warns that phishing-as-a-service and adversary-in-the-middle tactics enable large-scale compromise and urges real-time visibility and automated post-compromise remediation to prevent follow-on attacks like ransomware, fraud, and account takeover.
