Significant Rise in Voice Phishing
There has been a dramatic increase in voice phishing incidents, with reports indicating a 500% rise in the last year alone. This type of phishing, distinct from email phishing, involves deceptive phone calls aimed at extracting sensitive information such as passwords or financial details. Many companies have fallen victim to these tactics, making it imperative for organizations to find effective training solutions for their employees. Traditional computer-based training methods have proven ineffective, as employees often disengage from lengthy sessions, highlighting the need for more engaging training approaches to educate staff on recognizing and responding to these threats.
