Fraud & Phishing Protection

Phishing is a destructive and growing form of online identity theft. Phishing attacks attempt to fool internet users into revealing sensitive information, such as log on codes and passwords for online banking, using emails and web sites that appear to be legitimate.

The increasing popularity of online financial services such as Internet Banking, Online payment services and online shopping, presents new opportunities for cyber crime. People are becoming more and more accustomed to accessing their bank accounts and giving out their credit card details over the internet. Unfortunately with these advancing technologies, come new threats. Online fraud / phishing scams are on the increase, with the average single phishing scam netting over £850.

In recent surveys, up to 60% of people when presented with a fraudulent email, believed the email was legitimate, and said they would enter their details. Based on representative samples in 2004, Gartner Research found that nearly 11 million adults online had clicked on the link in a phishing attack email. Faced with a sustained increase in the professionalism and deceptiveness of cyber criminals, clearly human vigilance alone is not enough and some form of secure automated phishing protection is called for.
