Phish out of Water

Phishing or “ishing” is one of the most comprehensive cyberattacks out there. In a recent global security survey, 22% of organizations saw phishing as their greatest security threat and 59% of all phishing attacks were found to be related to finances. On this episode, we meet Rekeft: a Canadian man who lost $10,000 after receiving a phone call from who he thought was a tax agent. We ask industry expert Steven to explain how Rekeft’s ishing attack happened, and how to detect ishing scams early. We also tap into wellness professional and Senior Vice President of Global Customer Success and Partnerships at Lifeworks, Reem Gedeon to uncover the potential mental health implications of ishing attacks.
