Lured by lucre, the unsuspecting victim falls prey to the vicious design. Internal Revenue Service has issued yet another warning to American tax payers to stay away from such deceitful mails.
"MicroWorld has been in the forefront of fighting the phishing menace over the last few years. We have exposed a large number of such scams in a timely manner to safeguard computer users world wide. Besides, our solutions eScan and MailScan come with advanced technology to thwart spamming and phishing," says Govind Rammurthy, CEO, MicroWorld Technologies.
Researchers from MicroWorld Technologies have been closely studying the evolution of phishing malice. Phishers are working with smarter and newer social engineering methods like `Scare' and `Shock' to prompt users to open mails and fall in line. To add to the sophistication, phishers are even using Keyloggers and Trojans to employ a multilayered strategy in Identity Theft. The recent World Cup Ticket Phishing Scam is a fine instance of such developments.
"Phishers seem to swear by the maxim `by hook or by crook'. Not only them, but even virus writers are eyeing big moolah using Worms, Trojans, Rootkits and Keyloggers," says Govind Rammurthy. "The safest bet to protect your information is to have a Proactive, Real Time Security Solution that works round the clock to safeguard your confidential data. The need is for a comprehensive solution, as online criminals today work as a well connected crime syndicate! "
