In November, we filed Freedom of Information (FoI) requests to 70 universities throughout the U.K., surveying them about their phishing experiences. In this new blog, Jordan Wright of Duo Labs discusses the results, which indicate that phishing continues to be a majority security challenge:

- Universities are a popular target because of their large, diverse user base, and the sensitive personal information they retain for this community
- In addition, universities’ grant-funded research activities are often valuable to a motivated attacker
