No Phishing!

Online scams have gotten out of hand, haven’t they? The problems are getting WORSE, not better! Viruses, worms, trojans, spam, and now phishing…where the names of trusted companies are used in forged emails in an attempt to get victims’ personal information; things like usernames, passwords, credit cards numbers, & bank account numbers are stolen every day. At least there are some people out there trying to do something about it! The Anti-Phishing Working Group is an industry association that is committed to wiping out internet scams and fraud. They have their work cut out for them, don’t they? However, they have some big names for sponsors, including Verisign, Experian, and Microsoft. The site also has a lot of information on the current scams that are out there. Maybe in time, this will become the BBB of online business?
