Check Point Research (CPR) has released a new report which highlights the brands most frequently imitated in phishing campaigns in 2023 so far, and it contains some surprising results.

The company's Brand Phishing Report for Q1 2023 found several big names, such as Apple didn’t even make the top ten list, with Walmart named as the most frequently imitated brand in phishing attacks in the first quarter of the year, making up 16% of all attempts.
