SpyCloud: Phishing Targets Corporate Users 3x More

🔍 SpyCloud reported a 400% year‑over‑year increase in successfully phished identities, finding nearly 40% of more than 28 million recaptured phish records contained business email addresses—about three times the rate observed in recaptured malware. The company warns phishing has become the preferred gateway into enterprise environments and is fueling follow‑on attacks such as ransomware. SpyCloud urges organizations to adopt real‑time visibility and automated post‑compromise remediation across both personal and professional identities.

SpyCloud: Identity Blind Spots Raise Ransomware Risk

🔒 The SpyCloud 2025 Identity Threat Report exposes a gap between confidence and capability: 86% of security leaders say they can prevent identity-based attacks, yet 85% of organizations experienced ransomware in the past year, with over one-third hit six to ten times. A survey of 500+ security leaders in North America and the UK highlights identity sprawl across SaaS, unmanaged devices and third-party ecosystems. The report notes phishing, credential reuse and exposed sessions increasingly enable persistent access. It warns that most organizations lack automated remediation, repeatable workflows and formal investigation protocols.
