2022 ThreatLabz Phishing Report
Phishing has long been one of the most pervasive cyberthreats, and it grows every year.
According to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), phishing reported the most
victims nationally in 2020, and according to the 2021 Verizon Data Breach Investigations
Report, 35% of all data breaches involved scams trying to steal people’s sensitive information
or login credentials. Phishing did not slow down in 2021: the Zscaler ThreatLabz research team
saw a 29% increase in phishing attempts globally over the course of 2021 based on data from
billions of blocked attacks across the Zscaler cloud.
