Mimecast’s Global Threat Intelligence Report H1 2024 warns of a marked rise in link-based phishing and AI-enabled scams — including use of malicious links (133% surge in Q1 and 53% in Q2 year-over-year), campaigns delivering hundreds of thousands to millions of messages (examples include a 380,000-email campaign and 1.6 million messages tied to AI call-center scams), and evolving multi-step obfuscation techniques that bypass traditional defenses; small businesses are reported as bearing the greatest burden.
