Keepnet Labs has revealed the most vulnerable departments and sectors against phishing attacks, based on a data set of 410 thousand phishing emails, covering a period of one year.

Accordingly, 90% of successful cyber attacks occur through email-based attacks.

Corporate departments most affected by cyber attacks.

While the findings reveal that these departments have not changed according to last year's statistics, the report concludes that most of the sensitive information needed by cybercriminals is accessible via users working in these vulnerable units.

These statistics reveal that certain departments are more inclined to share sensitive information compared to others, and considering their position, they should be much more careful against cyber attacks.
