Human Error: The #1 Cause of Cyber Attacks and How to Fix It

Over 80% of data breaches are caused by human mistakes — not hackers breaking through firewalls. The real solution isn’t to blame employees, but to train and empower them to recognize threats before they cause damage.
1. How Phishing & Social Engineering Trick Employees
Cybercriminals no longer rely on technical hacks — they target people:
Emails that look like IRAS, banks, or suppliers
Fake login pages that steal passwords
WhatsApp impersonation scams
Urgent “payment request” messages
These attacks work because they look real, and employees often act quickly without verifying.
2. The Impact of Poor Cybersecurity Habits
Small actions can lead to big breaches:
Using weak or repeated passwords
Clicking unknown links
Downloading unapproved software
Sharing files without checking the recipient
Ignoring software updates
For SMEs, this can result in downtime, leaked information, and financial loss — all because of one simple mistake.
