Case Study: Carconnex (European B2B car importer) achieves 90% reduction in phishing click rate with Phished

Caught in the phishing trap Here’s how Carconnex solved that

Carconnex, a major European B2B car importer, suffered a phishing incident that briefly led an employee to transfer money to an unofficial account, exposing the company’s customer data and prompting a rethink of staff security training. To close that gap, Carconnex partnered with Phished and adopted its phishing simulation and automated security-awareness platform.

Phished implemented plug‑and‑play, AI-driven phishing simulations and tailor-made campaigns with minimal maintenance, rapidly training employees to recognise attacks. The result: click rates fell from 50% to 5%—a 90% reduction in phishing susceptibility—cutting risk and helping Carconnex avoid further financial and data losses.
