A report from Check Point Research reveals that Microsoft, Apple, and Google are the most impersonated brands by cybercriminals in phishing attacks, with Microsoft featuring in 32% of such incidents. The increase in phishing activity correlates with the holiday shopping season, when fake retail sites emerge. Notably, attacks impersonated brands like Nike and Adidas. Check Point highlighted two major phishing campaigns, including a fake PayPal site aimed at stealing financial data, indicating that while these threats have been identified, the risk remains prevalent.
Ongoing reports emphasize that Microsoft, Apple, and Google are the top three brands impersonated by cybercriminals, leading phishing attacks with considerable frequency.
