Gone Phishing?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the drop-a-line,-wait-for-a-bite dept.

Zastrossi writes "According to the Anti-Phishing Working Group, phishing sites--the practice of making sites that look and act like popular sites such as banks in order to steal personal information from customers--rose from 543 sites in September to 1,142 sites in October. Gartner reports that phishing scams cost banks and credit-card companies $10.2 billion."

    Who modded this informative? I see no informational value in it at all. It's just a link to the organization already mentioned in the Slashdot summary.

    This is just some l0ser trying to get his Click_Here_To_Get_Me_A_Free_Gadget signature modded high so it will be clicked.

    Dont' fall for it!

    From now on, anyone who has one of these links in their sig gets -1 Troll from me. Wish I had mod points right now.
