In the latest episode of ExperTalks, we discuss a topic that concerns absolutely every internet user—both at work and outside of it. We are talking about phishing, one of the most common and dangerous attack vectors in today’s world of cyber threats.
Our expert is Michał Cygan, Security Systems Engineer at Softinet, who explains in an accessible way:
🔹 What exactly phishing is and how it has changed over the years,
🔹 Why, despite growing awareness, so many people still fall victim to it,
🔹 How to recognize subtle signs of an attack in everyday email and text message communication.
Michał also shares practical examples and the most common mistakes that open the door to cybercriminals accessing our data—and more. He points out the importance of context and emotions in effective phishing campaigns, which increasingly use personalization and social engineering.
This episode is also an opportunity to take a broader look at the topic of cyber hygiene – a set of everyday habits that can affect the security of an entire organization. Michał explains why user awareness is not a luxury, but a necessity, and how regular security awareness training can reduce the risk of an incident by up to several dozen percent.
