Criminals, con-artists and tricksters have been fooling unsuspecting targets for centuries, and not only on April Fool’s Day, says David Higgins, EMEA Technical Director at CyberArk.

But in the last year we’ve seen a level of sophistication and variation in phishing tactics that we’ve never seen before. Individuals and businesses globally are falling prey to new, innovative threats from unrelenting attackers every day.
