It’s clear from this report that phishing is still the preferred method for email cyber attacks, and in spite of this, companies that utilise cloud services - like Microsoft 365 - for their data consider themselves immune from ransomware threats. The importance of cyber security training when it comes to email threats cannot be overstated.
