The Ultimate Phishing Guide: How to Identify and Prevent Phishing Attacks

Posted by TimSlavin at October 8, 2004

"Phishing scams have been escalating in number and sophistication with every month that


goes by. A phishing attack today now targets audience sizes that range from mass-mailings


to millions of email addresses around the world, through to highly targeted groups of


customers that have been enumerated through security faults in small clicks-and-mortar retail


websites."

An amazingly comprehensive (42pp) description of this common scam, how it is done, and how companies can protect themselves (and their customers). From Next Generation Security, a UK company, the article is titled, The Phishing Guide: Understanding & Preventing Phishing Attacks (PDF file). They also have what appears to be an excellent set of white papers about different security topics.
