“[The] dominance of phishing attacks is more [evident in] Philippine companies [that] provide services to global companies today where there’s back-office, call center—those kinds of operations,” Ben Goodman, general manager of Okta in Asia-Pacific and Japan, said in a press briefing on Friday.“Philippines has many companies that fit that profile and therefore could become quite a big target as an entry point,” he added.
Goodman said employees of these companies were vulnerable to phishing, a method used by cybercriminals to steal private data, if they do not know how to properly use corporate digital platforms. This was especially true for new workers undergoing the onboarding process, he said.
