Companies in the U.S. fired an employee after 40 percent of email fraud attacks that occurred over the past two years, according to a new survey. Australian firms terminated someone in response to slightly more than 25 percent of strikes, while companies in U.K. and Germany did so even less frequently. French companies terminated employees in roughly 15 percent fraud cases, the lowest total of the countries included in the study. The Proofpoint survey noted that most organizations can do more to protect against BEC attacks by implementing phishing awareness programs and creating business controls.”]
