Why should organizations start “phishing” their employees?
In definition,?phishing?is a cybercrime in which the victims are contacted by email, phone, or text by criminals posing as a legitimate institution luring them to give out sensitive data, such as credentials, banking information, or passwords.
In recent years, phishing has become very sophisticated, emulating how official institutions, organizations, or companies communicate online. Along with, the human element leaves a door open for believing these types of criminal approaches to your organization, since they may be able to manipulate your employees into disclosing sensitive company data.
