A new survey from Intel Security indicates that nearly 80 percent of those surveyed cannot discern a phishing email.
Real emails were shown to 19,000 respondents from 144 countries, some real and some phishing, and the results were that eighty percent fell for at least one phishing email.
Americans averaged 68 percent placing them at 27th.
France was the top performing country, followed by Sweden, Hungary, the Netherlands and Spain.
