Phishing
Attacks Linked To Organized Crime
Security Pipeline 07/07/04
"Federal and state law enforcement have linked organized crime to
phishing attacks that are increasing in both volume and sophistication.
"There's a lot of activity in the former Soviet bloc, the Eastern
bloc, Latvia, and Ukraine," says John Curran, supervisory special
agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Internet Crime Complaint
Center. "It definitely looks like there are organized groups."
Phishing involves sending fraudulent e-mail that appears to be from a
legitimate organization such as a bank, credit card company, online
merchant, or Internet service provider asking the recipient to divulge
personal and financial information birthdates, Social Security numbers and
PIN codes. Unlucky victims are then subject to identity theft, monetary
losses, and credit card fraud.
While Curran notes that a broad array of criminals appears to be involved
in phishing attacks, ranging from teenagers to grandmothers, the FBI is
investigating links to organized crime. So far, Curran hasn't seen any
indication that crime syndicates with ties to the Mafia are involved.
The U.S. Secret Service has also noted an increase in organized crime
involvement in phishing. At AIT Global's Annual InfoSec Meeting at the
United Nations in June, Robert Caltabiano, assistant to the special agent
in charge in the New York Field Office of the U.S. Secret Service, pointed
to the increasing presence of organized crime in phishing attacks.
Although Caltabiano recommended that victims first go to local law
enforcement for help, he noted, "with phishing attacks, the
information goes global."..."
