Enter Stage Left; Phishing as a Service (PhaaS)
Cyber criminals have taken a page from the legitimate business playbook, offering Phishing as a Service on the dark web. This disturbing trend makes it easier than ever for even novice hackers to launch sophisticated phishing campaigns against unsuspecting businesses.
What is PhaaS?
PhaaS provides would-be attackers with ready-made phishing kits, including:
Fake websites that mimic legitimate ones
Email templates designed to trick recipients
Tools to harvest and manage stolen credentials
Analytics to track the "success" of campaigns
The implications are clear: the barrier to entry for cyber crime has never been lower, and the threats to your business have never been higher. Instead of attackers spending months researching a business, getting everything ready to target them, they can now do it in days and weeks.

Higher Sophistication: These services often include advanced features that make phishing attempts harder to detect.
Wider Net: PhaaS allows attackers to target more businesses simultaneously, increasing your chances of being hit.
Barrier: Now anyone with money can get into this, previosuly attackers would need the skills and resource to carry out these attacks. Today, if you have the money on hand, you can buy this service and start attacking.
