摘要

Just as we begin to understand Phishing, where attacks are still on the rise (51,000 incidents recorded last year - up 16% on 2008), there is news of 'Vishing', phishing via the telephone, and 'SMiShing', the use of text messaging as a hook to obtain sensitive information. David Britton, Vice President at 41st Parameter, explains how these work and points out that new anti-fraud technology can still prevent financial loss.
