E-Mail Scams on the Rise
by antiphishing.org
June 2004 |
Phishing attacks use 'spoofed' (aka faked) return e-mail addresses and fraudulent websites designed to fool recipients into divulging personal financial data such as credit card numbers, account usernames and passwords, social security numbers, etc. By hijacking the trusted brands of well-known banks, online retailers and credit card companies, phishers are able to convince up to 5% of recipients to respond to them.
