Phishing kits are evolving to evade detection by using legitimate websites as intermediaries to redirect victims to phishing pages. Phishers also employ time delays so malicious content isn't loaded until after the spam email clears filters. Fridays are popular for spear phishing since employees may be less vigilant at the end of the week. Typo squatting, where minor spelling errors are used in domains, remains an effective tactic. Phishers also limit their audiences and protect infrastructure using "bouncer phishing". Water-holing compromises frequented websites to infect broad audiences. Phishing continues to evolve based on analyzing human behavior.
Abstract. This paper analyzes the supply and demand for Bitcoinbased Ponzi schemes. There are a variety of these types of scams: from long cons such as Bitcoin Savings & Trust to overnight doubling schemes that do not take off. We investigate what makes some Ponzi schemes successful and others less so. By scouring 11 424 threads on bitcointalk.org, we identify 1 780 distinct scams. Of these, half lasted a week or less.
Using survival analysis, we identify factors that affect scam persistence. One approach that appears to elongate the life of the scam is when the scammer interacts a lot with their victims, such as by posting more than a quarter of the comments in the related thread. By contrast, we also find that scams are shorter-lived when the scammers register their account on the same day that they post about their scam. Surprisingly, more daily posts by victims is associated with the scam ending sooner.
Intelligent Phishing Website Detection and Prevention System by Using Link Gu...IOSR Journals
The document discusses an intelligent phishing website detection and prevention system that uses a Link Guard algorithm. It analyzes the characteristics of hyperlinks used in phishing attacks, such as the visual link and actual link not matching, use of IP addresses instead of domain names, and use of encoded or similar-looking domain names. The document then proposes the Link Guard algorithm, which is implemented in Windows XP. Experiments show Link Guard can effectively detect 195 out of 203 known phishing attacks with minimal false negatives, using only the generic characteristics of phishing hyperlinks rather than signatures of specific attacks.

Phishing is a type of online security attack where attackers create fake websites to steal users' personal or financial information. The document proposes an anti-phishing system called "Phish-Secure" that uses three-factor authentication to detect and prevent phishing attacks. It verifies websites by comparing images to databases, checking URLs, blacklisting known phishing IP addresses, and validating destination IP addresses. The system aims to reduce phishing by accurately identifying legitimate websites versus fraudulent impersonations.
The document discusses the February issue of (IN)SECURE Magazine. It mentions that the issue focuses on Android security and includes articles on web security, shellcode, mobile security, and more. It also notes that the RSA Conference will be held later in February, which the magazine will cover. It provides contact information for the magazine.
2013 State of Social Media Spam Research ReportPrayukth K V
The document discusses the rise of social media spam. It found that social media spam increased 355% in the first half of 2013 compared to previous periods. Various types of social spam exist, including link spam, text spam, spammy apps, like-jacking, social bots, and fake accounts. Spam hurts brands by damaging their appearance and turning followers into detractors. The document analyzes trends in social spam based on data from over 60 million social media posts collected between 2011-2013 from major social media platforms. It found that only 15% of social spam contains detectable spam URLs, and at least 5% of social media apps are spammy.

Phishing attack, with SSL Encryption and HTTPS WorkingSachin Saini
This presentation contains Introduction of Phishing attack, its types and Various techniques, their impact with real live example, after that its Avoidance, Prevention and Solution. Also it contains brief introduction of SSL and HTTPS with their working.
Cybercrime poses serious risks to both individuals and businesses. Nearly 400 million people fall victim to cybercrime each year through websites that have been hacked or compromised. Criminals use techniques like botnets, malware, and phishing scams to infiltrate legitimate websites and steal users' personal and financial information without their knowledge. This poses financial and reputational risks to businesses. Website owners need to take proactive steps to secure their sites, such as conducting regular vulnerability assessments and using security programs and certificates to protect users and maintain trust.
The document describes SBotMiner, a system for identifying bot-generated search traffic from query logs at scale. SBotMiner focuses on detecting stealthy, low-rate bots that are difficult to identify individually. It does this by leveraging the observation that bot queries are often coordinated and share common patterns when viewed in aggregate. SBotMiner groups queries that share identical queries and clicks, and analyzes properties of these groups to distinguish bots from normal users. When applied to a large query log dataset, SBotMiner identified over 123 million bot-related pageviews, accounting for 3.8% of total traffic.
Greed for Fame Benefits Large Scale Botnetsmark-smith
A criminologist and a security researcher teamed up to hunt a large-scale botnet dubbed Linux/Moose 2.0 that conducts social media fraud. The hunt was fastidious since Linux/Moose 2.0 has stealth features and runs only on embedded systems such as consumer routers or Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Using honeypots set up across the world, we managed to get virtual routers infected to learn how this botnet spread and operated.
This document presents an intelligent system to detect phishing attacks using data mining techniques. It discusses how phishing involves mimicking legitimate websites to steal private information. Various existing solutions have been proposed but cannot fully eliminate phishing. The proposed system uses classifiers like decision trees and random forests trained on features extracted from URLs to classify websites as legitimate or phishing. It aims to construct an accurate intelligent system for phishing detection using data mining techniques.

Malicious Threats, Vulnerabilities and Defenses in WhatsApp and Mobile Instan...Jaime Sánchez
Global surveillance emerged as a phenomenon since the late 1940s and Internet and mobile technology are being developed with such pace that it is impossible to guarantee electronic privacy and nobody should expect it. How strong are the actual Instant Messaging Platforms? Do they take care of our security and privacy? We'll look inside the security of several clients (like BBM, Snapchat, and Line) and will put our focus on WhatsApp.
WhatsApp might not be as widely known as Twitter, but the company announced that it has passed 350 million active monthly users. WhatsApp has been plagued by several security issues in the past, so we decided to start the research. We've discovered several vulnerabilities more that we'll disclosure (with proof of concept code), including encryption flaws, remote DOS (making the client crash by sending a custom message), or how to spoof messages manipulating sender address information.
We'll also release a new version of our tool with different protection layers: encryption, anonymity, and using a custom XMPP server. It's necessary to implement additional measures until WhatsApp decides to take security seriously.
Anatomy of an Enterprise Social Cyber Attack ZeroFOX
Lazy criminals can buy software-controlled bot armies for as cheap as 6¢ per bot; human-verified social bots can fetch a price as high as $1.25. Cyber criminals use social media bot armies and targeted posts or links to distribute malware and phishing schemes to millions of users, potentially compromising targets and accessing personal and financial information. Once malware has infected a target, it can capture data from anywhere within an enterprise network and transmit it back to the criminal.

This document analyzes the privacy risks of mass surveillance by leveraging third-party HTTP tracking cookies. The researchers find that over 90% of a typical user's web visits can be linked together through shared unique cookies. Additionally, nearly half of popular websites leak a logged-in user's real identity in unencrypted traffic. This allows a passive network observer to cluster a user's entire browsing history and attach their real identity, violating expectations of privacy. The researchers discuss implications for targeted and mass surveillance online.
OSDC 2014: Michael Renner - Secure encryption in a wiretapped futureNETWAYS
Since the beginning of publications by Edward Snowden last year many of the presumedly exaggerated threat models in cryptography have become reality. When operating sensitive services it's more likely than not that communcation data will be tapped at large carriers as well as internet exchanges and stored indefinitily - this calls for strong and forward-secure encryption.
On the other hand we're faced with the problem that much of the software we're using in the datacenter today is not very secure when it comes to default encryption settings. On top of that, most developers and system administrators are not very fluent in the basic workings of encryption systems.
The talk will give an introduction to SSL/TLS and explain how to check for weaknesses in existing services with tools like nmap, sslscan and sslyze. For common daemons like apache, nginx, exim, postfix and dovecot best practice on improving cryptographic strength will be discussed.
Phishing is an attack that deals with social engineering system to illegally get and utilize another person's information for the benefit of authentic site for possess advantage (e.g. Take of client's secret word and Visa precise elements during online correspondence). It is influencing all the significant areas of industry step by step with a considerable measure of abuse of client qualifications. To secure clients against phishing, different hostile to phishing procedures have been suggested that takes after various methodologies like customer side and server side insurance. In this paper we have considered phishing in detail (counting assault process and grouping of phishing assault) and investigated a portion of the current sites to phishing strategies alongside their points of interest and disadvantages.
Are There Any Domains Impersonating Your Company For Phishing?NormShield
1. Jack, an employee, receives a phishing email impersonating his company and clicks a link that takes him to a malicious phishing domain very similar to his company's real domain. This allows hackers to steal his credentials.
2. Phishing domains try to impersonate companies to steal credentials from employees and customers. They use techniques like substituting letters to make the domain look similar to the real one. It is difficult for companies to search for these domains but tools like NormShield's free phishing domain search can help.
3. NormShield's free phishing domain search allows companies to enter their domain to search for impersonating domains, check if their email accounts were breached, monitor for new phishing

Studies show companies that implemented behavioral safety programs saw reductions in accidents of 45% or more as well as savings of over £250,000. The approach aims to develop a strong safety culture within teams and give workers the skills to identify and address unsafe behaviors respectfully.

AN INTELLECT LEARNING ON E-MAIL SECURITY AND FRAUD, SPAM AND PHISHING IJNSA Journal
Cybercrime has grown voluminous pleats with veneration to the development of first-hand technology. The flout towards cybercrime has become todays prime centric with developing countries frugality as well. Nonetheless hefty figure of security and privacy available with modern expertise; phishing, spam and email fraud are more equally exasperating. In this intellect learning, the authors’ primary interest is to make a healthy charge on phishing, spam and email fraud towards the wealthy personal information and realm.Official and business related information needs added exhaustive sanctuary and discretion from the hackers to be on the top in their one-to-one arena.
This document discusses various types of phishing attacks, including spear phishing, whaling, clone phishing, and others. It provides examples of successful historical phishing attacks that stole millions, such as Operation Phish Phry in 2009. The document also describes tools that can be used to conduct phishing experiments, such as harvesting emails, creating fake login pages, and sending phishing emails.
This document discusses phishing attacks and countermeasures. It begins by defining phishing as a type of email fraud where perpetrators send seemingly legitimate emails to collect personal and financial information. It then describes how phishing works, outlining the typical stages: creating fake websites, sending phishing emails with links to these sites, and hoping victims provide sensitive data or get infected with malware when they click the links. Specific phishing scams like spear phishing, whaling, pharming, spoofing, and vishing are also explained. The document concludes by listing warning signs of phishing websites and attacks.
This document discusses phishing attacks and ways to counter them. It begins with an abstract that introduces the topic of email phishing and its growing security problems. The main body is divided into sections that: 1) explain how phishing attacks work and their typical stages, from creating spoofed websites to tricking victims into providing sensitive information; 2) describe different types of phishing scams like spear phishing, whaling, and pharming; 3) outline warning signs that an email may be a phishing attempt, such as coming from an unknown sender or having odd writing; and 4) suggest awareness and technical solutions to help prevent falling victim to phishing.
Phishing attack types and mitigation strategiesSarim Khawaja
This document discusses various types of phishing attacks and mitigation strategies. It describes several types of phishing attacks like spear phishing, rock phishing, fast flux phishing, tilde phishing, water-holing, and whaling. It also discusses common tools and techniques used in phishing attacks, such as spam emails, social engineering on instant messaging and social media, SMS phishing, tabnabbing, vishing/phone phishing, flash-based phishing sites, typo squatting, URL manipulation, session hijacking, man-in-the-middle attacks, evil twins, and exploiting browser vulnerabilities. The document stresses that businesses need to proactively defend against continuously evolving phishing attacks to
Phishing is a form of internet fraud that aims to steal personal information, like usernames, passwords, and credit card details, by disguising malicious websites as legitimate websites. The document discusses the history and methods of phishing attacks. Phishing messages are commonly delivered through emails, websites, and instant messages. Attack vectors include manipulating URLs, using deceptive websites that mimic real sites, and infecting computers with malware to send phishing messages from compromised devices. Defenses against phishing aim to educate users and implement technical measures at the client, server, and enterprise levels.
Improving Phishing URL Detection Using Fuzzy Association Miningtheijes
Phishing is the process to obtain sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details by disguising as a trustworthy entity by the use of an electronic communication. Phishing attack continues to pose a solemn risk for web users and annoying threat within the field of electronic commerce. The Phishing detection using fuzzy and binary matrix construction method focuses on discerning the significant features that discriminate between legitimate and phishing URLs. The significant features are extracting the number of dots, length of the host etc., from each URL. These features are then subjected to associative rule mining-apriori and predictive apriori. The rules obtained are interpreted to emphasize the features that are more prevalent in phishing URLs. The key factors for the phished URLs are number of slashes in the URL, dot in the host portion of the URL and length of the URL. The pitfall of binary matrix method is the time complexity. So it impacts the overall speed of the system. The fuzzy based logic association rule mining algorithm was proposed to classify the legitimate and phishing URLs based on the features. The extracted features are converted to fuzzy membership values as “Low”,’ Medium’ and “High”. By applying association rule mining algorithm the rules are generated to detect the phishing URLs. The fuzzy based methodology provides efficient and high rate of phishing detection of URLs
Phishing is a form of hacking that involves using deceptive emails or fake websites to steal user data like login credentials. It works by tricking users into believing they are on legitimate websites by using authentic looking designs. Phishing attacks come in different forms like deceptive, spear, and whaling phishing. Users can protect themselves by being educated on how to identify phishing scams and using security technologies like email filters and firewalls. Organizations should implement layered security and train employees to reduce the impact of phishing attacks.

Pharming:
Pharming (pronounced ‘farming’) is a form of online fraud which is similar to phishing as these
guyz rely upon the same bogus websites and theft of confidential information. However, where
phishing will forward the user to the website through ‘bait’ in the form of a phony email or link,
pharming re-directs victims to the bogus site even if the victim has typed the correct web
address. This is often applied to the websites of well known banks or e-commerce sites, which
considerably dreadful.
Phissing:
Phishing is a form of fraud in which the criminals will try to learn information such as login
credentials or account information by masquerading as a reputable entity or person in email, IM
or other communication channels.Phishing email messages, websites, and phone calls are
designed to steal money. Online frauds can do this by installing malicious software on your
computer. It is a type of an email that falsely claims to be a legitimate enterprise in an attempt to
scam the user into surrendering private information.
Difference between Phissing and Pharming:
Both Phissing and Pharming are entirely two different concepts that are applied to steal the
customer information online.
While pharming is still considered a subset of phishing, it refers to a specific type of phishing
using DNS hijacking or poisoning to forward the user\'s browser to fraudulent sites or servers.
Pharming was keep on increasing from 2005 but has decreased slightly this year due to increased
diligence of domain controls, and is therefore employed less than the phishing exploits
mentioned above.
Special Notes:
From February 2005 to August 2005, worldwide there was a large number of pharming attacks,
due to common misconfigurations of DNS servers that made them accept the poison. While we
still see a trickle of pharming attacks today, most DNS servers have improved their poisoning
defenses, thereby lowering the incident of attacks. Don\'tget fooled, though, they are still out
there and we have to be diligent. If you run a Windows-based DNS server, make sure you have
enabled the \"Secure Cache Against Pollution\" option in the configuration GUI (the default for
recent versions of Windows DNS server). Also, never use Windows DNS servers configured to
forward requests through BIND 4 or 8. Windows DNS servers acting as forwarders should
always go through BIND 9, which can cleanse potentially poisoned records.
Risk of Phissing:
We can come to some general conclusions on the business risks of phishing attacks based on this
year\'s rash of privacy breaches. Phishing attacks ended in per.
Phishing is a type of social engineering attack that attempts to steal user data like login credentials. It works by tricking users into clicking links or downloading files that can install malware. Phishing has been around for decades and is still one of the most common cyberattacks. It often leads to financial losses from stolen funds or data breaches. Common phishing techniques include link manipulation, smishing (phishing via text), vishing (phishing via phone), fake websites, and pop-up messages. Spotting and avoiding phishing requires being wary of urgent or threatening language, suspicious links and files, and requests for private information from unexpected sources.
Phishing is basically the type of cybercrime in which attackers imitates a real person through institution and mimics that they are sending message from an authorized organization and then take the details of the user personal identity, credit card details and any type of bank information and will breach the personal details of the user. There are many free tools to help in web based scams. Basically the free anti phishing toolbars in the below given study were examined many example in which Spoof Guard anti phishing toolbar is sufficient and good at identifying fraudulent sites and can also gave false positive results. Earth Link, Google, Net Craft, Cloud Mark and Internet Explorer seven detected many of the fraudulent or fake sites even more than 15 of fraudulent sites are false positive. Trust Watch, eBay and Netscape correctly found the fraudulent websites and by the combination of the toolbars the expected outcome came out.

Ransomware-as-a-Service: The business of distributing cyber attacksΔρ. Γιώργος K. Κασάπης
Ransomware is proving to be a profitable endeavor for cyber criminals. It is also what is fueling a newer trend: the business of offering management of ransomware attacks, or Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS).
Fueled in part by the ability to use cryptocurrency to avoid detection, cyber criminals are setting up shop as a managed service provider, helping other cyber criminals conduct business on their platforms for a fee. For that fee, cyber criminal groups get personalize access to platforms, complete with dashboard capabilities, that allow them to easily distribute their ransomware. Also included – technical support. Such full-service offerings mean that nearly anyone with internet access can launch a ransomware attack without any technical knowledge needed.
And why not? The estimated return on investment from ransomware campaigns can easily reach 1400%. The lure of a lucrative return could well attract beginners or anyone with a grudge. For organizations, the threat coming from a well-backed beginner is as damaging as one coming from a career criminal.

This document discusses phishing and spamming. Phishing involves obtaining personal details like usernames, passwords, and credit card information by masquerading as a trustworthy entity. The first phishing attacks date back to 1995 when hackers posed as AOL staff to steal passwords. Common current targets of phishing attacks include banks, retailers, and government websites. Techniques used in phishing include fraudulent emails and websites, malware, and keyloggers. Anti-phishing efforts involve educating users, technical measures in browsers, reporting fraudulent sites, and legal action against phishers.
Many people and companies nowadays share their personal data online. As a result, a big amount of personal data and financial information become accessible to cybercriminals. If you're really a big corporation, a private firm, or anything in between, phishing is amongst the most dangerous and serious dangers to your business. The most effective phishing attacks generally include a variety of social engineering strategies and can also include the impersonation of the company’s Chief Executive Officers, vendors, charities, government organizations as well as business partners. We all can suffer from phishing scams as they are subject to an individual's personal judgment, incompetence, or insecurity. It does not matter whether you're a celebrity, a c-level CEO, or an employee at quite a small company, these attacks are aimed to utilize several deceptive strategies to attempt to manipulate, influence, or outright mislead you into doing a specific activity. Their purpose can be to acquire access to your private information or to persuade you to send massive money transfers to fake accounts. #phishing #List #Attack #Cybersecurity #News video content 00:00 intro 05:10 Mattel Phisihng scam 06:48 MacEwan University CEO Phishing attack 08:20 The Scoular Company Business Compromise Phishing scam 10:05:00 The Scoular Company spearphishing scam 11:57 Tecnimont SpA elaborate BEC scam 13:35 Pathé 19 Million Euros lost in email scam 14:39 Xoom Corporation BEC scam that cost them nearly $31 million. 15:57 Leoni AG scammed out of $44 million in BEC scam 17:56 Ubiquiti Networks CEO fraud scam for $46.7 million 19:46 Upsher-Smith Laboratories swindled out of more than $50 million through CEO fraud 21:10 FACC lost $61 million) in a CEO fraud scam 23:18 Crelan Bank in Belgium lost $75.8 million in a CEO fraud attack 24:33 Facebook & Google were scammed out of more than $100 million

RSA Monthly Online Fraud Report -- February 2013
1. PHISHING KITS – THE SAME WOLF, JUST
A DIFFERENT SHEEP’S CLOTHING
February 2013
Phishing still stands as the top online threat impacting both consumers and the
businesses that serve them online. In 2012, there was an average of over 37,000
phishing attacks each month identified by RSA. The impact of phishing on the global
economy has been quite significant: RSA estimates that worldwide losses from phishing
attacks cost more than $1.5 billion in 2012, and had the potential to reach over $2
billion if the average uptime of phishing attacks had remained the same as 2011.
This monthly highlight goes beyond the growing numbers recorded for phishing attacks
and looks deeper into the evolution of attack tactics facilitating the sustained increase
witnessed over the last year.
START LEGIT, THEN GO BAD
Phishing kits recently analyzed by RSA show another phish tactic increasingly used by
phishers. Although this is not entirely new, it is interesting to see it implemented by
miscreants planning to evade email filtering security.
The scheme includes a number of redirections from one website to another. What kit
authors typically do in such cases is exploit and take over one legitimate website,
hijacking it but not making any changes to it. They will be using this site as a trampoline
of sorts, making their victims reach it and then be bounced from there to a second
hijacked website: the actual phishing page.
What good can this serve? Simple: the first site is purposely preserved as a “clean” site
so that phishers can send it as an unreported/unblocked URL to their victims, inside
emails that would not appear suspicious to security filtering. The recipient will then
click the link, get to the first (good) URL and be instantly redirected to the malicious one.
FRAUD REPORT
2. Another similar example is reflected in time-delayed attacks – again, not new, but
increasingly used by attackers. This variation uses the same clean site, sends the email
spam containing the “good” URL and stalls. The malicious content will only be loaded to
the hijacked site a day or two later. These are often weekend attacks, where the spam is
sent on a Sunday, clears the email systems, then the malicious content is available on
Monday. The same scheme is used for spear phishing and Trojan infection campaigns.
PHISH FRIDAY
Research into attack patterns proves that Fridays are a top choice for phishers to send
targeted emails to employees – spear phish Friday if you will. Why Friday? When it comes
to phishing, phishers make it their business to know their targets as well as possible. It
stands to reason that employees may be a little less on guard on the last day of the week,
clean their inbox from the week’s emails and browse the Internet more – making them
more likely to check out a link they received via email that day.
TYPO SQUATTING – DOUBLE TIME
Typo squatting is a common way for phishers to try and trick web users into believing they
are looking at a legitimate URL and not a look-alike evil twin. The basics of typo squatting
is registering a website for phishing, choosing a domain name that is either very similar to
the original or visually misleading. The most common ways of doing this are:
–– Switching letters, as in bnak or bnk for “bank”
–– dding a letter at the end of the word or doubling in the wrong place, as in Montterrey
A
for “Monterrey”
–– Swapping visually similar letters
Phishers are creative and may use different schemes to typo squat. This phish tactic can
be noticed by keen-eyed readers who actually pay close attention to the URL they are
accessing, however, for more individuals on a busy day, typo squatting can end with an
inadvertent click on the wrong link. This is especially important today, since fake websites
look better than ever and are that much harder to tell apart.

3. A quick search engine search for domain iwltter.com immediately revealed that it was
registered by someone in Shanghai and already reported for phishing.
But the notion plays against phishers in other aspects. Typos are one of the oldest tell-
tale signs of phishing. You’d think that by now phishers would have learned that their
spelling mistakes and clunky syntax impairs their success rates, but luckily, they haven’t.
This could be in part due to the fact that many kit authors are not native English speakers
BOUNCER PHISHING – STRANGERS KEEP OUT
Another phish tactic analyzed by RSA in the recent month came in the shape of a kit that
selected its audience from a 3,000 strong pre-loaded list. It may sound like a long list,
but is it very limiting in terms of exposure to the phishing attack itself.
This case showed that phishers will use different ways to protect the existing campaign
infrastructure they created and make sure strangers, as in security and phish trackers,
keep out of their hijacked hostage sites while they gather credentials and ship them out
to an entirely different location on the web.
WATER-HOLING – REVERSING THE ROLES
Water-holing in the phishing context became a tactic employed by attackers looking to
reach the more savvy breed of Internet users. Instead of trying to send an email to a
security-aware individual, attempting to bypass security implemented in-house and
reinventing the phish, water-holing is the simple maneuver of luring the victim out to
the field and getting him there.
A water-hole is thus a website or an online resource that is frequently visited by the
target-audience. Compromise that one resource, and you’ve got them all. Clearly fully
patched systems will still be rather immune and secured browsers that will not allow the
download of any file without express permission from the user will deflect the malware.
Water-holing has been a tactic that managed to compromise users by using an exploit
and infecting their machines with a RAT (remote administration tool). This is also the
suspected method of infection of servers used for the handling of payment-processing
data. Since regular browsing from such resources does not take place on daily basis, the
other possibility of a relatively wide campaign is to infect them through a resource they
do reach out to regularly.
Water-holing may require some resources for the initial compromise of the website that
will reap the rewards later, but these balance out considering the attacker does not need
to know the exact contacts/their email addresses/the type of content they will expect or
suspect before going after the targeted organization.
CONCLUSION
Although there is not much a phishing page can surprise with, one can’t forget that the
actual page is just the attack’s façade. Behind the credential-collecting interface lay
increasingly sophisticated kits that record user hits and coordinates, push them from one
site to the next, lure them to infection points after robbing their information and always
seeking the next best way to attack. According to recent RSA research into kits, changes in
the code’s makeup and phish tactics come from intent learning of human behavior
patterns by logging statistical information about users and then implementing that
knowledge into future campaigns.
