[pchelpers] News:More Than Half Receive At Least One Phish Daily

 By Gregg Keizer, TechWeb News

More than half of business PC users receive at least one phishing e-mail 
every day, a U.K.-based security company said Tuesday.

According to a survey conducted by Sophos of 600 business users, 58 
percent reported seeing one or more phishing mails in their inboxes 
daily. More than 1 in 5 -- 22 percent -- receive five or more each day.

"The reason phishing e-mails are so prevalent is due to their success 
rate," said Carole Theriault, senior security consultant at Sophos, in a 
statement. "If you receive more than five phishes per day, you're either 
alert to the dangers or you're likely to have been robbed blind.
