The report highlights the brands that were most frequently imitated by cybercriminals in their attempts to steal individuals\u2019 personal information or payment credentials during January, February and March 2023.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Multinational retail giant Walmart topped the ranking last quarter, accounting for 16% of all attempts and climbing from 13<sup>th<\/sup> place in Q4 2022. This is due to a significant phishing campaign urging victims to click on a malicious survey link, relating to \u2018the supply system collapse\u2019. Meanwhile, DHL held onto second place, appearing in 13% of phishing events, closely followed by Microsoft with 12% during the quarter. Overall, the technology sector was the most imitated industry, followed by shipping and retail.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The latest report also highlights how threat actors are leveraging organizations in the finance sector to steal account details. Brazilian financial services company Bradesco and bank Raiffeisen made the list for the first time in 5<sup>th<\/sup> and 9<sup>th<\/sup> places, respectively. In the Bradesco phishing campaign, which accounted for 5% of phishing attacks last quarter, recipients were encouraged to click on a malicious link and enter their account details to redeem a cashback offer. Once submitted, those details would then be stolen by the attacker.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cCriminal groups orchestrate phishing campaigns to get as many people to part with their personal data as possible,\u201d said Omer Dembinsky, Data Group Manager at Check Point Software. \u201cIn some cases, attacks are designed to obtain account information, as seen with the Bradesco and Raiffeisen campaigns. Others are deployed to steal payment details, which we witnessed with popular streaming service Netflix.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">He added: \u201cThe best defense against phishing threats, as ever, is knowledge. Employees should be given appropriate training to spot suspicious traits such as misspelled domains, typos, incorrect dates, and other details that can expose a malicious email or link.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">In a brand phishing attack, criminals try to imitate the official website of a well-known brand by using a similar domain name or URL and a web-page design that resembles the genuine site. The link to the fake website can be sent to targeted individuals by email or text message, a user can be redirected during web browsing, or it may be triggered from a fraudulent mobile application. The fake website often contains a form intended to steal users\u2019 credentials, payment details or other personal information.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong><br \/>\n          <u>Top phishing brands in Q1 2023<\/u><br \/>\n        <\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Below are the top brands ranked by their overall appearance in brand phishing attempts:<\/p>\n<ol style=\"list-style-type:decimal\">\n<li>Walmart (relating to 16% of all phishing attacks globally)<\/li>\n<li>DHL (13%)<\/li>\n<li>Microsoft (12%)<\/li>\n<li>LinkedIn (6%)<\/li>\n<li>Bradesco (5%)<\/li>\n<li>FedEx (4.9%)<\/li>\n<li>Google (4.8%)<\/li>\n<li>Netflix (4%)<\/li>\n<li>Raiffeisen (3.6%)<\/li>\n<li>PayPal (3.5%)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong><br \/>\n          <u>Bradesco Phishing Email \u2013 Account Theft Example<br \/><\/u><br \/>\n        <\/strong>During Q1 of 2023, a phishing email was observed that used the branding of Bradesco, a Brazilian financial services company.
