The U.S. is targeted by phishing attacks more than any other country in the world, according to a new report by Outseer that examined 56,000 cyberattacks during the third quarter of last year.
The report found that phishing attacks targeting the U.S. rose significantly during the third quarter of 2021, up 43% from Q2.
Fourteen percent of the 56,000 attacks Outseer detected in its network during the third quarter were phishing attacks, meaning it detected 7,840 phishing attacks during that time.
