And what do we burn aside from Phishes?
MORE PHISHES!
Sorry, couldn't resist. Got Monty Python on the brain.
Anyway, there's very little new in the phishing game. There are new examples every day, but is usually more of the same. And ISPs are getting very agressive about blocking the websites.
Remember, there are now some phishing attacks taking advantage of Windows vulnerabilities that allow the attackers to get a significant amount of information when you do nothing more than PREVIEW the email - no click needed. Best thing to do is turn off your email preview and delete any suspicious looking emails before you every open them up in any way.

| Some Phishers are going the other way. After months of more and more horrifying things happening to you, your account, and your identity, this email just tells you about all the nice features of the new Citizens Bank website. So now you're relaxed and happy, and you click on the link....... |
| Here is an email that came in yesterday, with the associated website which was still active as of 2pm yesterday, on Port 80. Very official looking. Still a criminal. |
