August online fraud report is now available

RSA’s August online fraud report is now available. This month it covers;

Number of brands attacked per month
Breakdown of global banking brands attacked by phishing
Top hosting countries
Segmentation of US banking brands attacked by phishing

It also follows the story of RSA analysts who track a US college athlete whose website was hacked.

All this information is gathered from the RSA anti-fraud command center (AFCC) which is a 24x7 ‘war room’ that detects, monitors, tracks and shuts down phishing, pharming and Trojan attacks against more than 200 companies worldwide. They have shut down over 42,000 phishing attacks and is a key industry source.

Overall, the worldwide distribution of attacked entities remained relatively nunchanged during June, July and August. The share of U.S. brands continues to be very dominant, and August was the seventh consecutive month in which UK institutions occupied the second spot in the rankings, with 11% of the phished entities. As in July, the top five positions in the list remained unchanged. Australia and Colombia – which were new to the list in July – kept their spots, while Peru (the only newcomer this month) edged France out of the list and has taken the number 10 spot.
