Eliminate Phishing at the Server Level According to the Anti-Phishing Working Group
(an industry association focused on eliminating the identity theft and fraud that result from phishing and email spoofing), phishing attacks increased an average of 25% per month from July to October 2004 — with no sign of slowing down. “Phishers disguise themselves as a company you are familiar with and lure you to a familiar-looking Web site where they prompt you to provide certain identifying information,” says Bob Parsons, president of Go Daddy. “Unfortunately, that site is a fake designed to deceive and capture your personal information. Because of the increasing frequency of phishing attacks, Go Daddy developed a system that will materially minimize our users’ exposure to this threat.”For more information on phishing can be found on the Anti-Phishing Working Group's Web site at http://www.anti-phishing.org/.
