Phishing is nothing new, but the COVID-19 pandemic has seen an increase in attacks around the world as cybercriminals seek to exploit the opportunities offered.

Mobile security company Zimperium has produced an infographic looking at phishing trends with a particular emphasis on the mobile sector. You can see it below but here's the red-hot take from Pew Internet surveys:

75% of U.S. adults have been exposed to phishing, and 47% have visited phishing sites. Of the infected people, 73% used their computer for more than 1 of the 3 reasons for having been infected: social engineering (26%), personal information theft (11%) or malware infection (7%).
