A new report shows a spike in phishing attacks in the U.S. and other parts of the world. More than half of those who paid the ransom failed to get their data back, the report says. The report surveyed 3,500 people across seven countries and analyzed more than 60,000 simulated phishing attempts in the last 12 months. Experts say more people need to be prepared to deal with the threat of a cyberattack before it happens, especially in the United States, and more people want to know how to respond.
