Have you ever found phishing emails confusing? You aren't alone.
Kaspersky found as part of its Security Awareness Platform and phishing simulator data the emails that users find the most difficult to understand when it comes to attempted phishing attacks.
With nearly all of cyberattacks beginning with an attempted phishing email, it is crucial that organizations and their employees are able to spot and snuff out a potential breach before it happens.
Kaspersky encourages organizations to enforce best email practices wherever possible by reminding employees of the common signs of phishing emails, such as an eye catching subject line, typos or grammatical errors, suspicious links and inconsistent sender addresses.
The cybersecurity company also advocates that employees report any email suspected of being phishing to their respective IT department, and for organizations to provide their workforce with basic cybersecurity knowledge.
