This is our Q1 2022 Cofense Phishing Review which details key phishing trends that defined the last quarter. We cover a variety of malware and credential phishing trends and tactics used by threat actors to evade secure email gateways.
We also examine changes to the delivery mechanisms and files used in phishing campaigns and highlight some of our projections for Q2 2022.
Key findings:
- How Russia's invasion of Ukraine impacted the phishing threat landscape.
- Changes in Emotet volume and TTPs (tactics, techniques and procedures).
- What malware families were delivered via phishing most frequently in Q1 and how they were delivered.
- We will explore how the Conti ransomware leaks affirmed and enhanced our understanding of the phishing threat landscape.
