Latest Phishing News

New phishing scams are coming online every day. I get a few phishing e-mail messages every week and I am quite certain that I am not getting e-mail messages from each and every phishing scam that is launched.

So far, phishing scams have been targeting customers of big banks like Bank of America and CitiBank in addition to popular auction web sites such as eBay. Payment processor PayPal is also a very frequent target. If there is anything to be gained from capturing account access information to a particular website, there is a good chance that some of these crooks will give it a try by launching a phishing scam operation.

Below you will find some of the lastest news stories focusing on phishing and recent phishing scams. It's worth keeping an eye on, just to stay abreast of the lastest news and possibly be tipped off to the latest phishing scams that are springing up all over the Internet.
