Phishers pluck Virgin customers

Iain Thomson writes in vnunet.com:

A rash of phishing emails has been sent out targeting Virgin Money credit card customers.

Web monitoring firm Websense has warned of the attack, which Virgin Money confirmed had already caught two customers. The attack was detected early this morning.

"We are currently looking into this," said John Franklin, PR manager at Virgin Money. "We are getting information from our security team who are looking into it at the moment. So far only two people have been hit as far as we are aware."

Franklin explained that Virgin Money had a dedicated team of security personnel who collect and analyse evidence of attacks in an effort to protect customers.
