   n06/01-20BulgariaPhishingPR.mspx[/url]Well good, glad to hear it, one cell of bad guys down, 768,586 to go. Ok good thing, one less group of serious hackers, and one more reason for exploiters to back off....or get better, and not get caught....

   Good stuff, I did a report on phishing not long ago and was disturbed with the information I gathered. The less phishers out in the world, the better.

   Nice.....some good news for a change!Speaking of phishing scams, I just received yet another Ebay phish today, which I forwarded on to the real Ebay. I usually get a couple of these a month showing up on the web-based email account.

   This is a good start. If someone can get money fast and easy, and there's no/very small chance of getting caught, he will do it. (Heck, maybe I will too). The governments all around the world have to unite to take stricter measures and try harder to catch those cybercrimers. Usually a government is reluctant to do it because they don't have the resource (99% of law enforcers where I live wouldn't know what to do with internet), and because the victims aren't in their juridiction. (sometimes even in other continents)

   Looks like the ball has definitely gotten rolling in the fight against phishers. Hopefully the momentum continues to pick up. If it does, in about 2 or so years we might actually start to see a decline in phishing attacks and similar intrusions.

After all, the world's opulation will double in a couple of decades so it'll be hard to lower figures like these. Al that we can hope for is to lower the increase if u know what i mean. In any case, funny how i never open my messeges from MSN staff anyway. Don't really care. Unless its to me personally of course.
