The Anti-Phishing Working Group’s (APWG) Phishing Activity Trends Report for Q1 2020 notes that phishing attacks rose to the highest level since 2016, with more than 60,000 phishing sites being reported in March alone. As a member of APWG, Acronis can confirm that we’ve seen an uptick as well and Acronis employees of all levels receive well-crafted phishing emails every day. Let’s look at one recent example that targeted one of our c-level executives.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/targeted-phishing-takes-aim-acronis-and-loses/)

This included the implementation of collaborative and cloud-based technology. Then the crisis hit. According to Christelle Heikkila, IT Director at Arsenal, “we had a seamless transition for our entire workforce to work from home as soon as lockdown started, from every department around the world as far as Singapore and Australia.” Acronis has been with Arsenal every step of the way, taking proactive measures to keep Arsenal cyber safe, including the provision of backups for its cloud-based data to give it additional peace of mind. Arsenal was also an early adopter of Acronis Cyber Protect, which has cybersecurity features like a full-stack antivirus solution, vulnerability assessments, patch management, and URL filtering. Here's a look at how their transition went.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/arsenal-fc-seamlessly-transitions-working-home-during-lockdown-help-acronis/)

The story started winding down with the arrests of three young men in the UK and Florida. Twitter should feel lucky today that the thieves only set their sights on a small payday (netting less than $120K before they got caught) rather than broadcasting false headlines that might have shaken global financial markets. It’s a useful reminder that phishing remains among the most popular and successful attack vectors for a variety of cybercrimes, accounting for some 30% of all breaches.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/phishing-back-news-it-never-really-went-away/)
