Information Security Awareness: You Are Buff State’s First Line of Defense

Posted:

Kaspersky Labs reported that more phishing attacks (PDF, 514 KB) were recorded in the first quarter of 2016 than in any other three-month span since the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) began tracking data in 2004. Approximately 48 percent of phishing attacks registered by their own software were targeted on the end-users' financial data. In one quarter, 319,692 users worldwide were targeted with attacks using financial malware.

Know when you are being phished. If you know—or even think—you are being phished, report it to the RITE Support Desk immediately.
