Phishing URL Data Feed

Real time protection from phishing attacks and threats.

Phishing is one of the most dangerous and effective online fraud methods in existence today. It uses fake websites to swipe user logins and passwords to hijack their online accounts and then steal money or spread spam and malware through compromised email accounts and social networking platforms. It is a very powerful tool used by online attackers, and the number of phishing incidents grows each year.

The Facts on Phishing:

• Emails with phishing links are sent to millions of people worldwide
• Thousands of phishing sites appear every day
• Some phishing sites stay online just for several hours after their creation; few stay online for more than 1-2 days
• Phishers uses social engineering to deceive users and exploit poor usability of current web technologies
• The exponential growth of mobile users leads phishers to focus their attacks to mobile platforms as well

Common targets for phishing attacks:

• Banks
• Online stores
• Payment systems
• Email and search portals
• Social networking sites
• ISPs
• Online game communities
• Others (IT vendors, providers, government institutions, mass media, etc.)

As a result of phishing attacks companies suffer large financial losses and damaged reputation.
