However, it does help to highlight how much of a problem this issue is for modern online organisations, although the key word here is &#8220;<em>blocked<\/em>&#8221; (i.e. the filters are working and hopefully most of the nasty stuff doesn&#8217;t get through).<\/p>\n<p>As usual though, there are some caveats to consider in this data. For example, the malware figure is actually surprisingly low, which is because this gets blocked externally and so the figure is actually an underestimate (probably significantly). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> do not hold any data about what their external provider blocks.<\/p>\n<p>The regulator also only retains the last 30 days\u2019 worth of data on SPAM emails, which reveals that they blocked 52,725 SPAM messages in February 2026 alone (roughly akin to an estimate of 624,000 per year). But ISPreview also found some older data, which stated that the regulator blocked 190,000 spams in the 30-day period preceding 16th July 2025, so there&#8217;s clearly scope for dramatic month-to-month variations.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Andy Ward, the SVP International of Absolute Security, said the figures underlined the importance of public sector organisations ensuring they had good cyber resilience. &#8220;<em>The reality is that almost a fifth of organisations experienced operational disruptions that lasted as long as two weeks, with the majority facing downtime that lasted nearly five days, when hit with a cyber-attack<\/em>,&#8221; added Ward. But thus far we&#8217;ve not seen Ofcom suffering any major operational disruptions due to a cyberattack, at least not ones that we&#8217;ve known about.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Ofcom&#8217;s Email Blocking Stats (Excluding SPAM)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>June 2023 \u2013 February 2024<\/strong> (March 2023 \u2013 May 2023 is not available\/reported)<br \/>\nTotal phishing emails blocked: 152221<br \/>\nTotal malware emails blocked: 3813<\/p>\n<p><strong>March 2024 \u2013 February 2025<\/strong><br \/>\nTotal phishing emails blocked: 149032<br \/>\nTotal malware emails blocked: 2778<\/p>\n<p><strong>March 2025 \u2013 February 2026<\/strong><br \/>\nTotal phishing emails blocked: 171683<br \/>\nTotal malware emails blocked: 1994<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent Freedom of Information (FOI) request has revealed that the UK telecoms, internet content and media regulator, Ofcom, blocked a total of 481,521 &#8220;malicious emails&#8221; between June 2023 and February 2026 (472,936 phishing and 8,585 malware emails).
