[pchelpers] Article:Information Security Forum Warns Against Increase In Trojan Phishing And The Use Of ‘Moles’

ISF phishing report also puts education above two-factor authentication

27 September 2005: A new report from the Information Security Forum 
(ISF) warns that Trojan-based attacks will take over from email phishing 
in the US and Europe as Trojans become more sophisticated and harder to 
stop. The ISF – a not-for-profit organisation with 260 members including 
half of the Fortune 100 – also highlights the increasing use of ‘moles’ 
placed in organisations to gain access to high-worth customers.

The rapid use of phishing by organised criminals is reflected in a 
survey of ISF members that shows that over a third of members have been 
affected by phishing attacks. Furthermore, over 30% of these have 
experienced more than 20 attacks.
