Report: 4 in 10 UK Businesses Were Breached by Phishing Last Year

Executive summary: A UK government survey found 43% of businesses reported a breach last year, with phishing driving the vast majority of attacks. Phishing-only incidents rose (to 51% of businesses and 57% of charities), while staff training and awareness levels remained broadly unchanged, indicating a large-scale, persistent phishing problem rather than a specific technical exploit or malware campaign.
