Phishing levels peak

MX Lab detects in increase in phishing emails between 09/04/2008 and 13/04/2008, bringing the phishing level up to 0,28% of all blocked messages where in the past this level was 0,03%.

These phishing emails are mostly regarding a “locked bank account” or “verify your details” but we see other phishing attempts targeting Google Adwords customers stating that their account is locked.
