Phishing
Phishing:
Each month Skeptic™ analyzes billions of messages sent to our
clients from sources around the world. First emerging in the mid-1990s, the term ‘phishing’ describes a
range of criminal activities designed to steal confidential data via computer systems and then use this
data or sell it for a profit. Whether the stolen information consists of valuable intellectual property,
customer data, bank account or credit card details, usernames or passwords, the bottom-line damage
suffered by businesses falling victim to phishing attacks can be enormous.
