ChosenSecurity, Inc., a leading specialist in identity verification and security services, today announced three essential steps for protecting customer communications from damaging phishing incidents, in response to the rising number of phishing attacks. The Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) logged just under 12,000 phishing websites active online in May, and in July that figure jumped to 14,191 - with the upward trend continuing.(1)
As the number of phishing incidents rise, both the phishing websites and fraudulent e-mails that originate from them are becoming more professional, and appear deceptively authentic. As a result certain industries, including the banking and financial sectors, cannot effectively employ e-mail as a communication tool without recipients doubting its authenticity.
