p. 132 Symantec Corporation Internet Security Threat Report 2013 :: Volume 18 SPAM AND FRAUD ACTIVITy TRENDS Analysis of Phishing Activity by Geography, Industry Sector, and Company Size Background Phishing activity trends can also reveal patterns that may be associated with particular geographical locations or hotspots, for example, the industry sector may also have an influence on an organization’s risk factor, where certain industries may be exposed to different levels of threat because of the nature of their business. Moreover, the size of an organization can also play a part in determining their exposure to risk. SMBs may find themselves the target of a spam attack because SMBs are perceived to be softer targets because they are less likely to have the same levels of in-depth defenses, while larger organizations are more likely to have greater budgetary expenditure applied to their antispam and security countermeasures.
