A recent report has revealed that in 2013 over 300 million dollars was stolen by cyber criminals from banks across the world…all by sending phishing emails to bank employees which captured information that allowed the criminals to access accounts.
While the findings of this report related to banks mostly in Russia and other countries including the U.S.A, it does sent a clear warning that employees of any business need to be more aware of the danger in phishing emails.
Last week I spoke to security consultant Phillip Simpson from Dell secureworks on this issue and he suggested that it’s now really in the hands of employers to ensure their stuff know what you look out for.
