Email security bill of rights for a zero-trust world
Reports that $1.7 million in NFTs has been stolen from OpenSea users in a phishing attack on the marketplace have thrust email security, once again, into the global spotlight.
The attack highlights the vulnerability of email; most estimates suggest that email is the root cause of more than 90% of all successful cyberattacks. And although business email compromise (BEC) attacks make up a small percentage of attacks, they cause the most damage: Our data suggest that BEC accounted for 1.3% of attacks but would have resulted in over $354 million in direct losses.
