Newly released data from Akamai’s 2019 State of the Internet/Security Financial Services Attack Economy Report has found that 50 percent of all unique organizations impacted by observed phishing domains were from the financial services sector.
The data shows that, in addition to unique phishing attempts, adversaries also leveraged credential stuffing attacks to the tune of 3.5 billion attempts during an 18-month period, putting the personal data and banking information of financial services customers at risk.
