Experts warn of dramatic rise in phishing and ID theft |
Industry experts warned today of a "dramatic increase" in online identity theft over the past two years. A new report from McAfee said that the instances of key logging malware to capture passwords and other private information increased by 250 per cent between January 2004 and May 2006.Additional findings from the security firm's research show that the number of phishing alerts tracked by the Anti-Phishing Working Group has multiplied 100-fold over the same period of time.
"Identity theft is a global phenomenon that threatens all of us, which means we all need to become more aware, more vigilant and less trusting to protect ourselves," said Jeff Green, senior vice president of McAfee's Avert Labs. Experts warn of dramatic rise in phishing and ID theft - vnunet.com
