Yes, phishers are back in full force. Contrary to what we witnessed in the first half of this year, phishers came back with a vengeance in the third quarter. In the last month of the midyear (June), we saw a tiny uptick in volume. By August, however, the volume of phishing reached the volume seen in the most active months of 2008, and the volume seen in September completely surpassed the volume seen during any one month of 2008.

I don’t know why I don’t get even a single spam on all my 4 or 5 accounts. :o ::slight_smile: It doesn’t mean that I should be spammed. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’d say you have pretty good browsing habits…etc.
Personally I find that I get some spam, but the GMail spam filter is great, caught everything so far…

I have been using some of my ids since 7-8 years but haven’t got a single spam.

Phishing will be there as long as there are dummies who take the bait.
Sorry but that’s a fact. :cry:

Prepare bait accounts and/or aliases for the bait. ;D

[Edit]Stupid misspelling in a single sentence.
