Phishing

I mentioned previously HERE that the criminals doing these phishing attacks are changing tactics to make it harder for the antiphishing measures to block them

We are seeing many more phishing attempts using the same technique of sending an HTML page as an attachment to an email and asking you, the victim, to fill in the form

Many people are falling for this, even more than those who click on  link in an email.

Once again we warn that Banks, Building Societies, HMRC, Finance Companies, Ebay, Paypal and Government Departments will not send an email with a PDF to fill or a web page form to fill in asking for user name, password, date of birth, address, Mothers maiden name, Place of birth, favorite color or anything else that can be used to steal your identity. Most of all they NEVER, NEVER, NEVER ask for your credit or debit card details, pin number or log in password.
