Device Code Phishing Up 1,500% in 2026; Vishing Doubles

Device code phishing attacks surged 1,500% in 2026, while vishing incidents doubled.

Summary

Attackers are increasingly leveraging newer social engineering tactics like device code phishing and vishing to bypass traditional security measures. These methods are effective because they leave minimal forensic evidence, making them harder to detect and attribute. The significant rise in these attacks highlights a growing challenge for organizations trying to protect user credentials and sensitive data.
