COLLEGE PARK, Md., Jan. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- INKY Technology Corporation, an anti-phishing startup, today announced the release of the company's 2019 End of Year Phishing Report, demonstrating that thousands of dangerous emails still get through every year, how legacy providers miss malicious emails, and new tactics that phishers are using to fool the end user and core anti-phish defenses. INKY leverages the power of unique computer vision, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and advanced visualization techniques to identify even the most well-disguised types of phishing attacks.

One reason scams are so prolific is, Baggett said, bad guys keep churning out lots of fake web domains.

It’s that time of year! We’re all having fun planning our Halloween costumes. What’s not so fun? Cybercriminals are doing the same thing. Just as you can put on a Dracula outfit and look the part, criminals can camouflage their emails to present a perfect facade, too — of a brand you trust. But crooks don’t have to buy their costumes: a phisher — let’s call him Vlad the Impaler — can just take a real email from, say, Apple, save its HTML content, and modify a few links. Vlad can then resend a perfect-looking Apple mail from a plausible sounding server like “apple-mail-gateway.com” and … trick or treat.
