Some 2,560 unique phishing sites were reported in January, a jump of 47 percent over December (1,740) and more than double the number reported in October (1,186). There were 12,845 unique phishing e-mail messages reported, representing a "substantial increase" of 42 percent over December's figure.
The U.S. continues to be the top location for hosting phishing sites, at 32 percent. Other top countries include China (13 percent) and Korea (10 percent).
The APWG said that malicious Web sites are also attempting to install password-stealing keyloggers, using several browser vulnerabilities to install and run code on PCs that access a Web site. |
