Phishing remains widespread.
Summary
CISA notes that the FBI received 193,407 phishing complaints in 2024, making it the most reported cybercrime that year. Treat every unexpected reward as unverified, even when the message appears to come from a company you know. How does a fake gift card offer work?
The prize is bait.
KazaSec's take
Phishing and credential-based attacks succeed because they target people, not just infrastructure, technical controls like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC only ever close part of that gap. The rest comes down to whether a team can actually spot the fake, and whether a compromised credential can still be reused anywhere else.
