A survey conducted by Information Security Media found that new fraud methods, including phishing and account takeovers are an increasing problem for banks. The 2010 Faces of Fraud Survey polled 230 small and mid sized banks about their experiences with fraud in the past calendar year. Phishing is now the third most common type of fraud experienced by the banks surveyed, with 48% of those surveyed reporting incidents of phishing attacks in 2010. The survey also found banks feeling vulnerable to threats like phishing, with a perceived need for more resources and better tools to combat new threats.
