What is phishing?

Phishing refers to attempts to obtain personal data of an Internet user via fake websites and e-mails and to use this data to commit identity theft.

In this process, target persons with deceptively real-looking e-mails are asked to reveal access data. With the mass of daily e-mails and under time pressure, this succeeds regularly.

Economic damage

In 2018, cybercrime in Germany caused costs of approximately 61.4 million euros. Most attacks begin with phishing. In 2019, a full 75 percent of corporations were affected by at least one type of IT security problem. The damage amounted to around 102.9 billion euros.

The more information about the company and its employees is known online and the less trained the employees are, the more likely the successful attack via e-mail is.

"Companies spend millions of dollars on firewalls and secure access devices, and it's money wasted because none of these measures address the weakest link in the security chain: The people who use, administer and operate computer systems"Kevin Mitnick - the world’s most famous hacker
