Phishing
The amount of phishing-related DNS activity was fairly stable throughout 2020, with the exception of December. That month saw a 52% increase around the holidays. Nearly 90% of organizations had at least one user attempt to connect to a phishing site, likely by clicking on a link in a phishing email.
“In terms of the number of endpoints visiting phishing sites, there were significant increases during August and September,” Nahorney said. “This is due to a very large phishing campaign, where we see a 102 percentage-point shift between July and September.”
