Most of us know by now not to give out our passwords, ATM PINs, or other secret information when requested by e-mail. But an increasing number of people are giving out that information, even those of us who should know better. What makes this doubly annoying is that the scam is an old one, and it has nothing to do with technology growth. The crooks are getting cleverer. Some of the faked site URL's are very, very close misspellings from the actual site addresses, everything being concentrated in mass targeted phising attacks.
Phishing attacks use spoofed e-mails and fraudulent web sites designed to fool recipients into divulging personal financial data such as credit card numbers, account usernames and passwords, social security numbers and any other kind of personal information by hijacking the trusted brands of well-known banks, online retailers and credit card companies. Global analysis reports prove that phishers are able to convince up to 5% of recipients to respond to them.
Also, phishing attacks are more and more aggressive as they tend to contain also viral infections of the targeted systems in their purpose of gathering the set information. Such Spyware components and Trojans could be hidden inside your file system waiting for you to access your online banking resources or some personal online resource that requires user and password registering. They will log all that information and send it to 3 rd parties that will simply and safely gather all your data and successfully steal your ID. As these malware components are in the wild, the Spyware Research centre at Secure PC Solutions is working around the clock to always keep 1ClickSpyClean, the only true spyware protection system on the market, the latest and the best.
