Kits help phishing sites proliferate

The number of phishing Web sites grew by about 65 percent in December, which security experts say is due to the increasing use of easy-to-use "phishing kits."

The Anti-Phishing Working Group's report for December revealed that although the number of phishing e-mails fell between November and December last year, the number of fraudulent Web sites increased from 4,630 to 7,197, which is a new record.
