Phishing in Romania (2007-2009) • 2007 – 7 attacks • 2008 – 26 attacks (50% targeting the same institution) • 2009 – 187 attacks already (98% targeting the same institution) • 2009 – 1’st ½ … anyone want to make a prediction? Don’t be fooled by randomness!

Now… why would anyone start phishing? – With the current market turmoil, what's the easiest way to make a small fortune? – Start off with a large one! • Quote of the day (from a trader): quot;This is worse than a divorce. I've lost half my net worth and I still have a wife • This market stinks so bad…that even Chuck Norris can’t make any money.

Well… I bet not anybody can phish!

Really… it must be more than this!!! 1. Open the yellow pages and pick someone 2. Search his name using a social media search-engine 3. If any SN profile found 1. Download images, posts, comments, friend 2. Create a phishing attack customized for this exact person. 3. Continue with his friends 4. Complicated? Too much work? Dial 1-800 BOTNET for an army of computers to do this for you PS: (success comes when the victim has profiles on more than one social network)
