Anti-Phishing Working Group releases a report on phishing trends for the second half of 2010. Subdomain services are typically unregulated and focus on high-volume, low-cost transactions. 40% of attacks launched via subdomain services used the COCC domain, based in Korea, report says. Overall number of phishing attacks appears to be declining, but that’s still down from the 126,697 attacks seen in 2009. Subdomination services hosted nearly 11,768 phishing websites in 2010, a 42% increase from the first half of the year.”]
