With a noticeable uptick in cyber attacks, we are rolling out a series of content focused on cyber threat awareness—starting with a threat known as phishing.
What Is Phishing
Phishing is a cyberattack where criminals impersonate credible organisations to trick people into revealing sensitive information or clicking dangerous links. These messages often appear genuine, but their aim is to steal credentials, financial information, or personal data.
According to Huntress, over 90% of all cyberattacks begin with phishing. This staggering figure underscores how critical user awareness is in the fight against cyber threats.

Top Phishing Techniques to Watch For
In a breakdown by Huntress Labs, the most prevalent phishing tactic of 2024 involved spoofing e-Signature providers, accounting for 28.8% of attacks.
Awareness of such statistics helps organisations recognise evolving threats and stay ahead in defensive strategies.
It was also highlighted that there are several common phishing tactics, including:
Impersonation of trusted brands or individuals
Urgency or fear-based messaging to prompt immediate action
Malicious links or attachments, sometimes hidden behind QR codes or disguised domains
