Crimeware epidemic spreading fast
From VNUnet:
Phishers are rapidly becoming more sophisticated with the development of malicious crimeware software that can bypass conventional IT security systems and steal identity information for financial crime, the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) warned today.
In July 2005, APWG researchers found that phishers are designing systems specifically to neutralise the counter-phishing technologies being deployed by financial institutions and ecommerce sites.
“The technological contest between phisher and counter-phisher is well and truly underway,” said APWG chairman David Jevans. “It is a contest of escalation.”
