Microsoft received 35 billion suspicious emails

Washington: Microsoft’s example is enough to understand the cyber-attacks around the world, according to which last year the company received 35.7 billion suspicious emails, ie more than a thousand e-mails per second containing any virus, phishing agent or any suspicious. The code was there.

NBIA reported that as far as consumers and corporate entities are concerned, 9.6 billion emails have been bombarded. In addition, 25.6 billion cases of hacking of consumer accounts were prevented thanks to Brute Force. But this is a terrible trend that is being carried out by hackers and digital intruders in many countries. One can only guess at the type of cyber threats that large corporations and all Internet users face.

According to Microsoft, the intensity of these attacks is increasing rapidly. But 80% of these cases involve common methods of digital theft. One of these methods is password spray in which innumerable identical passwords are applied to an account in a short period of time. The second method involves social engineering attacks by human methods. The third method is phishing. In the process of phishing, important information is sent by sending emails.

According to Microsoft’s cybersecurity report, its antivirus and Azure Active Directory blocked mail with brute force, phishing and other malware. Thanks to Office 365, in particular, billions of e-mails were sent to various organizations, companies and individuals.
