Every week, countless small businesses across the United Kingdom fall victim to cyber attacks. Many people believe hackers use complex software or advanced techniques, but the truth is much simpler. One of the most common ways attackers gain access to company systems is through a phishing email.
Phishing emails are cleverly disguised messages designed to trick recipients into clicking a malicious link, opening an infected attachment, or entering their details on a fake login page. They often appear to come from trusted sources such as a supplier, colleague, or even your bank, and they can be incredibly convincing. Once someone interacts with that email, attackers can quickly gain access to sensitive information, install malware, or compromise business accounts.
Why phishing works
Phishing works because it preys on human nature. Even the most careful employees can be caught off guard when a message looks urgent or familiar. A simple message such as “please check this invoice” or “your password is about to expire” can be enough to trigger a costly mistake.
