Title: Phishing and Worms spike this Year
Post by: MyWorld on Nov 02, 2009, 09:15 PM
Scammers are targeting social networks with phishing scams and relying more heavily on worms and Trojans to attack computers, according to security trend reports.

Phishing attacks saw a big spike in May and June, primarily because of campaigns targeting social-networking sites. Gaming sites, portals, and Web sites of banks and retailers were also popular targets for phishing attacks.
