Email-based phishing and malware persist as a major security threat, with billions of attacks now occurring daily. In the first three months of 2020, according to a Phishing Benchmark Global Report<\/a>, remote workers were hit with 30,000 more “suspicious messages,” and a 667% increase in COVID-related spear phishing<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As of July 31, 2021, the FBI IC3<\/a> has received over 16,000 sextortion complaints<\/a><\/strong> in 2021, with losses exceeding $8 million. Nearly half of these extortion victims were in the 20-39 age group. Victims over 60 years comprised the third largest reporting age group, while victims under the age of 20 reported the fewest number of complaints.<\/p>\n
