The Phishers' Favorites report for Q4 2019 says that PayPal remains the top brand impersonated by cybercriminals for the second quarter in a row, with Facebook taking the #2 spot and Microsoft coming in third.
The report was developed by analyzing the number of unique phishing URLs detected by Vade Secure and made publicly available on www.IsItPhishing.AI. Leveraging data from more than 600 million protected mailboxes worldwide, Vade identified the brands being impersonated as part of its real-time analysis of the URL and page content.
