Phishing attacks down dramatically in 2010, says IBM

The volume of phishing attacks dropped in 2010 to less than a quarter of what was seen in previous two years. The apprehension of a major Romanian phishing gang last May likely helped, IBM says. The most popular subject line in a phishing attack, seen about 9% of the time, is “Security Alert — Verification of Your Current Details” The top countries or origin for phishing URLs are Romania at 18.8%, the United States at 14.6%, China at 11.3%, South Korea at 9.8% and the UK at 7.2%.”]
