According to the latest data from CERT Polska (a team operating within the structures of NASK - the National Research Institute), phishing, i.e. a technique in which attackers attempt to obtain private information such as passwords, bank account numbers and personal data, is still the most frequently used method on the list of threats in the area of cybercrime in Poland. The phishing mechanism is based on impersonating trusted sources, such as banks, companies or government institutions. In 2020, 7,622 cases were reported, while in 2021, the number of phishing attempts in Poland almost tripled to 22,575 documented attempts.
