Netcraft: 5,600 Phishing Sites Since December 181
miller60 writes "Netcraft has tracked and blocked 5,600 known phishing sites since the December launch of its anti-phishing toolbar, which it has now updated with a risk rating feature that warns users about new sites with phishy characteristics, based on trends observed in known phishing scams. It has also started a service that makes the full list available of phishing sites as a continuously updated feed for service providers and companies to use in mail servers and web proxies." One bad sign: the phishing attacks I see are getting (on average) more professional in their phrasing -- it used to be easy to toss out the trawlers based on their spelling alone.

One could say the same for the /. trolls.

She uses FireFox and ThunderBird, (fuck IE and Outlook,) despite knowing barely enough to switch on the machine.
My wife... I think I'll keep her.
As for me... She's taught me well.
CNet's site been mined for addresses so I got that crap from them (maybe CNet is in worse financial shape that they're letting on,) but its done the phishers no good.
If I don't already know you, you're going to end up in my Mac's 'Junk Mail' folder.
