When are employees the most vigilant towards phishing emails? Most good and bad clicks occur during working hours, when there's the most exposure to malicious emails. We're more likely to recognize and report malicious emails in the morning than afternoon, and twice as likely to click a malicious link after work hours. Paradoxically, despite the relative risk being higher after hours, organizations see up to 10X more phishing clicks during standard working hours in absolute terms. Do you notice a pattern in your awareness to phishing during the day?

In our recent webinar, Anthony Davis and Maxime Cartier shared eight tips for keeping security awareness top of mind all year round, not just in October.

Did you know... Business Email Compromise (BEC) is one of the most financially damaging online crimes. A BEC is a form of financially motivated phishing attack where attackers exploit existing relationships between a victim and an entity by posing as a trusted source to request unauthorised transactions. In order to facilitate this scam, BEC attacks can also involve attackers engaging in further fraudulent activities such as invoice manipulation. Email account compromises are sometimes used to execute these attacks. In 2022, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) received 21,832 BEC complaints with adjusted losses over $2.7 billion. 😱
