Phishing auf Deutsch

Mikko writes over on the F-Secure "News from the Lab" Blog:

In addition to the typical phishing targets, such as Citibank, eBay, Paypal and US Bank, we've been seeing a move towards smaller markets. This is probably happening as most customers of a bank like Citibank have already received a hundred different phishing messages and will not be fooled by another one.

So phishers are doing more targeted attacks against smaller targets in order to find users who still could be fooled to respond to a phishing email.

This has resulted, for example, in a series of attacks against the German banks, with increased activity against organizations like Deutsche Bank and Postbank.


Mikko also has a screen-shot of one of the German language phish here.
