Update to the earlier post.  The increased phishing in the first half of this year, is resulting in significant increases in fraud attempts through Banks’ online banking throughout the world.

More of us are getting conned into giving out our bank details over the internet. Phishing fraud uses emails and fake websites to trick customers into revealing their username and password. Between January and June this year there were more than 5,000 cases. That’s compared to 312 in the first six months of 2005.
