Phishing as a form of Social Engineering has a prominent presence in today’s threat landscape, and can result in devastating losses if successful. This paper presents an analysis of the phishing emails that have been observed in Q1 of 2022. The analysis sheds light on trends that can be seen with these phishing emails in relation to properties such as Content, Target, Method, and Impersonation. In addition to defining phishing email properties, the paper analyzes phishing features that have been found in previous literature. These features are compared to the phishing emails collected, and it is shown that many of these features are present in this paper’s corpus, while others have no presence at all. Furthermore, the paper showcases instances of successful phishing emails, pointing out the characteristics that can be seen in a successful phish.
