SurfControl, a provider of enterprise threat protection, recently announced that it has released its latest findings on email threats and vulnerability.
Using SurfControl's Advanced Threat Intelligence, its global threat experts have compiled threat trend data through February 2006. Approximately 28% of phishing attacks detected by ATI were generated using phishing kits that act as site-development applications. The kits include ready-made graphics, programming code, and sample content used to generate e-mail capable of luring users to their malicious sites. Trend data shows that the phishing kit is widely used in various countries.
Threat experts report that health related spam continues its record climb in volume as detected by ATI in February 2006. Following closely behind, finance related spam includes an increase in embedded stock tips. In summary, both Health and Finance spam are equally sharing an increased volume.
