Letter: Left phishing for answers

I find the ThreatStats extremely useful as a tool to show senior management that we have our fingers on the pulse at all times. Statistics are wonderful things, but I was at a loss to explain the phishing figures as published in the July issue.

The graph showed a huge rise in attacks, but the narrative stated asignificant 1% rise?

It would also be very useful if the numbers stated could be clarified -is that the total number of attacks or scams? The most useful statisticswould be a split between sectors - financial, retail etc. Finally, werethe figures for attacks originating in the UK or worldwide?
