Statistics: Anti-Phishing Working Group, November 2007 Report

Statistics: Anti-Phishing Working Group, September 2007 Report
9 pages; PDF.
From the summary:
November reported the highest number of hijacked brands ever recorded by the APWG in a single month with 178 discrete corporate identities targeted. The APWG notes an increasing number of financial services industry targets being reported in Europe and the Middle East in addition to large US banking institutions and credit unions. ► The total number of unique phishing reports submitted to APWG in November 2007 was 28,074, a decrease of more than 3,500 reports from the previous month, possibly due to an increasing emphasis on targeted phishing attacks against key executives and employees manifesting last fall. ► The number of unique phishing websites detected by APWG was 23,630 in November 2007, a decrease of more than 10,600 from the month of October. ► November saw an increase of nearly 1000 unique websites hosting keyloggers, up to 3500. Financial Services continue to be the most targeted industry sector at 93.8% of all attacks in the month of November. ► In November, China overtook the United States as the top country hosting phishing websites with 24.21%.
