Stop E-mail & phishing Fraud - Before it Stops You - Free Online Meeting

Aug 18, 2004 - 12:30 p.m. Eastern

E-mail fraud is a problem for consumers and business.

According to an April 2004 survey from Gartner, an estimated 57 million Americans think that they have received a phishing e-mail. And the problem is growing. A study by the Anti-Phishing Working Group showed that between November 2003 and April 2004, phishing e-mails–the most common type of fraudulent e-mail–increased 110 percent each month. With the average successful fraud netting $1,400, consumer e-mail fraud is already a $5 billion industry.

Flushed with success defrauding consumers, fraudsters now are turning their sights on businesses–discovering that techniques that work well with consumers work equally well with unsuspecting employees.

Fraudulent e-mails aimed at employees often appear to come from trusted sources such as company management or partners; use legitimate company graphics, layout, content and links; and ask employees to take actions that seem reasonable in a business context, such as verifying company information.
