AI-generated phishing messages achieve a 21% success rate compared to 3% for traditional phishing, representing a paradigm shift in attack effectiveness.
Phishing through messaging platforms grew because users trust messages from known contacts.

Platforms with contact list access provide attackers with pre-built trust networks for phishing campaigns.

The average successful phishing attack costs organizations $4.91 million when including remediation, regulatory fines, and reputation damage. 91% of successful cyberattacks begin with a phishing message.
