Three in four EU employees encounter cyber threats at work, survey finds

A new survey has found that three in four employees across the European Union have encountered cyber threats in their workplace, according to Anadolu Agency.

Phishing emerged as the most commonly reported type of cyber threat faced by EU employees, the survey found, underscoring how prevalent email- and message-based scams remain in workplace settings across the bloc.

The findings point to a widespread exposure to cyber risks among the EU workforce, raising questions about the adequacy of current employee training and organizational safeguards against phishing and other forms of cyberattack.

The survey adds to a growing body of evidence highlighting cybersecurity as a persistent workplace challenge, with phishing continuing to be a preferred method for attackers seeking to compromise corporate systems or steal sensitive information.
