Phishing Remains the Number One Attack Vector

Phishing continues to dominate as the leading method of cyber intrusion, driven by increasingly sophisticated and AI-generated messages that mimic legitimate communications. Attackers create convincing fake authentication portals to steal credentials, leading to wider network breaches. To combat this, organizations are expanding multi-factor authentication, employee awareness training, and incident detection capabilities. Mobile phishing attempts are rising sharply, and financial institutions remain prime targets, reinforcing expert predictions that phishing will stay prevalent due to its low cost and high success rate.
