"Facebook and Microsoft Remain Prime Targets for Spoofing"

According to Vade, although phishing trends often change, Facebook and Microsoft continue to dominate as the most spoofed brands. The collective dominance of Facebook and Microsoft as the most spoofed brands persisted into H1 2023, with Facebook accounting for 18 percent of all phishing URLs and Microsoft accounting for 15 percent. While Facebook was the clear leader, Microsoft surpassed the social media platform in Q2 due to a 22 percent increase in spoofing attempts quarter-over-quarter. Facebook and Microsoft together accounted for more unique phishing URLs than the next top five brands combined (i.e., Credit Agricole, SoftBank, Orange, PayPal, and Apple).
