THE PHISHING ACTIVITY TRENDS REPORT PROVIDES DETAILS ON THE ANALYSIS OF PHISHING ATTACKS. LEARN HOW TO PROTECT YOUR NETWORK FROM PHISHING ATTACKS.

Phishing is a type of online identity theft that uses phony emails designed to direct unsuspecting recipients to fraudulent websites. When email recipients reach the site, they are tricked into revealing corporate, personal, and financial data such as credit card numbers, account usernames, passwords, and social security numbers. Due to these phishing scams, internet users and their organizations are suffering from credit card fraud, identity theft, loss of corporate information, and financial loss. All employees of an organization who utilize the internet are susceptible to phishing attacks.

The Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) is an organization created to help identify phasing activities. Phishing attacks can be reported on the organization's website or via email. APWG's collection of information is the internet's most comprehensive archive of email fraud and phasing activity. The collected data is analyzed and compiled into The Phishing Activity Trends Report. The report is published monthly by the APWG and provides information on trends, targeted industries, and overall highlights. Websense performs analysis for the APWG report to help with anti-phishing efforts.
