Stop Phishing Attacks Before They Hit Your Inbox
September 10, 2025
Phishing Attacks Have Hit a New Record in 2025
Phishing attacks are no longer random or amateur. In the first quarter of 2025 alone, over 1 million phishing incidents were recorded globally — a new high that underscores just how sophisticated attackers have become.
Email is still the #1 attack vector. But now, it’s not just shady links and fake invoices. We’re seeing AI-generated phishing, deepfake impersonations, and business email compromise (BEC) targeting CEOs, HR teams, and finance departments.
The question isn’t if a phishing attack will target your business — it’s whether you’re prepared to stop it before it reaches your users.
Why Email Is Still the Easiest Way to Breach Your Business
Despite firewalls and endpoint protection, email remains the easiest entry point for attackers.
Why? Because:
– Humans make mistakes — they click on convincing emails.
– Traditional spam filters aren’t designed for modern threats.
– Hackers are using AI to write better emails than your marketing team.
The result? One bad click can lead to:
– Account takeovers
– Ransomware payloads
– Financial fraud
– Legal liability from compromised data
