Antiphishing.org - Stop Phishing and Email Scams

Home page for anti-phishing working group. Good study on phishing trends on this site along with some good related links and resources. [if you're wondering what "phishing" is (definition from this site), "Phishing attacks use 'spoofed' e-mails and fraudulent websites designed to fool recipients into divulging personal financial data such as credit card numbers, account usernames and passwords, social security numbers, etc. By hijacking the trusted brands of well-known banks, online retailers and credit card companies, phishers are able to convince up to 5% of recipients to respond to them.]
