QUOTE: The Rock Phish criminal organziation is responsible for as many as one-half of all current phishing attacks. Problem is, no one's sure who they are, or even if it isn't just one person. It is estimated that the criminal organization's phishing schemes have cost banks more than $100 million to date.
Rock Phish is not known for targeting the two most popular phishing targets -- eBay and PayPal. Instead, it specializes in European and U.S. financial institutions. At last count, the group had spoofed 44 brands from businesses in nine countries, sending out e-mails that try to trick victims into visiting phony Web sites and entering information such as credit card numbers and passwords. Rock Phish sites have spoofed CitiBank, E*Trade, Barclays, and Deutsche Bank, among others.
