Would you mind pointing me at research that demonstrates that email links are the number one threat vector right now?
As someone who leads a major MDR and IR service, phishing was the root cause of about 7.5% of incidents last year. Exploits are #1 around 47% of incidents, followed by compromised credentials around 30% of incidents.
This only represents SME and Enterprise. Phishing likely could be #1 for individuals.
