Phishers target local banks
Banking brands in Australia and New Zealand are increasingly becoming the subject of so-called ‘phishing attacks’, according to the latest data released by information technology security company EMC.
EMC’s RSA Anti-Fraud Command Centre reported what it described as a record high in the number of global phishing attacks, which it said was influenced by the spread of phishing to additional geographic regions and new verticals.
It said March was also the first time that both Australia and New Zealand had appeared in the regional breakdown of attacked global banking brands.
