Google Fights Back in Phishing Explosion & So Should You

April 24, 2020

The shock of the COVID-19 pandemic is slowing down, but the bad guys aren’t – they’re ramping up their efforts to trick people into giving them passwords, login credentials, and other sensitive information through phishing expeditions. 

The BBC reports that Google is blocking 18 million bogus COVID-19 emails a day from reaching its 1.5 billion users. But even the best defense a tech giant can bring will allow some dangerous email to slip through the cracks. Phishing is up 667% and COVID-19 is on track to become the biggest phishing topic in history.   

Numbers don’t lie. It has never been more important to make sure that every user on your network is up to date on the latest threats and ready to fight back against phishing attacks. Here’s how our tools can help your remote workforce be ready:
