Scary internet stuff - Phishing the video!

Phishing continues to evolve.  Much as with spam, the bad guys and scammers continue to reinvent themselves and their tricks. They have become more brazen and sophisticated in their methods and as ever, their ultimate recourse is that of just sheer perseverance in flooding the ‘net with phishing messages.

To help contain phishing and as a precursor to ultimately managing and defeating it, requires effort and activity on many fronts. We have seen the popular browsers being updated to have ‘anti-phishing’ capabilities built into them. Many of the internet security suites also build in additional levels of anti-phishing protection. This is all necessary and effective. However, what is still vitally important  is to continue to educate people about phishing. We need to keep it front of mind, provide practical information to help combat it and to provide reassurance that the ‘phishers’ do not,  and will not, have it all their own way.

If you follow this link you will see an new and updated educational piece we have created on ‘Phishing’. I hope you like it and importantly find it useful. If you do like it, please help do your bit to push back against ‘phishing’, share it with friends, family and colleagues.
