  • Of these emails, 427 million contained malicious content
  • Phishing attacks are the primary attack vector

New research from HornetSecurity has shown that a third of all emails received by businesses this year were spam, amounting to over 20 billion over the course of the year. Of these, over 427 million contained malicious content (2.3%).

Unsurprisingly, phishing is top of the list of most prevalent cyberattacks in 2024, and was responsible for a third of all attacks. Malicious URLS came in a close second, making up 22.7%.
