Anatomy of a brilliant Phishing attack
There has been an increase in the number of e-mails and text messages that are landing in my spam folders recently. I am not sure why the upturn is happening, but some of the e-mails are getting very convincing.
It was not long ago that I would get badly spelled, poorly constructed e-mails that were easy to spot,
Subject: Yuor Natwast account has ten tnarsactions pending.
Now, not only do I not have a Natwest account, but the typo’s in the subject line made it super obvious.
Yesterday I got an e-mail.
Subject: Lloyds Bank Fraud Alert.
