IBM Reports On Spear Phishers

FrenchyinOntario writes "IBM reports that while "regular" phishing is declining the black hats are now engaging in targeted spear phishing to glean as much information about a specific identity as they can for all the usual cybercrime reasons. It concerns authorities because the usual suspects - criminal and terrorist organizations - will want to take advantage of this, but the chilling part is how your identity will now be dependent on multiple institutions protecting your personal information, as opposed to eBay, PayPal, your bank, etc."

Sorry to play the tripped out hippy troll but does anyone care what IBM have to say about anything anymore ?

A known globalist company who equipped nazi concentration camps with equipment to record executions and who are now equiping governments to impose new levels of intrusion on citizens.

Not sure IBM are some comfy old pair of slippers giving good advice to the world, they are an unaccountable global mega corp serving the new agenda.

oh they made some cool chips for apple once.
