The Anti Phishing Working Group suspects that a toolkit, which would allow phishing attacks to be automated, has started circulating on the Internet.
The rate at which identity theft emails hit consumers is beginning to slow, a study published on Wednesday suggested.
Phishing attacks have increased in quantity and quality over the past two months, according to research published by the Anti-Phishing Working Group on Monday.
Fraudsters ramped up phishing attacks by 29 percent in November, according to a new report.
Phishers are more frequently using instant messaging (IM) services instead of e-mail to trick corporate and home users into revealing personal information, according to the Anti-Phishing Working Group.
Just as Internet users learn that clicking on a link in an e-mail purporting to come from their bank is a bad idea, phishers seem to be developing a new tactic -- launch a DDoS attack on the Web site of the company whose customers they are targeting and then send e-mails "explaining" the outage and offering an "alternative" URL.
Phishing attacks have increased in quantity and quality over the past two months, according to research published by the Anti-Phishing Working Group on Monday.
Software filters that are designed to block access to fraudulent Web sites are largely ineffective at protecting against new attacks, according to security experts.
Online fraud scams are increasingly turning their sights to credit unions, according to a new report.
The rise in online identity fraud has companies on the hook: Either educate customers or lose them.
Phishers have started exploiting technologies such as Voice over IP and RSS to hook more victims while law enforcement authorities are being overwhelmed by the sheer volume and sophistication of attacks, according to the CEO of Websense.
