Timely story on phishing impact

Reuters has an interesting story today on how phishers are cranking up their attempts to steal your money– and your identity. Symantec released a study today claiming an 81% increase in the number of unique phishing message sent out in the first half of 2006 vs the second half of 2005– not a huge surprise to anyone who has an e-mail account.The story is particularly timely, though, given that 3Sharp will be making a phishing-related announcement later this week; I’ll have more to say later in the week.
