High Number of Attacks Highlights Need for Security Protection of Personal Data For Online Financial TransactionsWoburn, MA – June 27, 2013 — /BackupReview.info/ — Kaspersky Lab today announced that the results of the Evolution of Phishing Attacks research found that one in five phishing attacks, registered between May 2012 and late April 2013, targeted users of banks and other credit and financial institutions. The research also found that, of the most targeted webpages, banks and other financial organizations represented 20.64 percent of all identified phishing attacks worldwide. The increase in phishing threats points to a need for accurate security protection of users’ personal data when completing online financial transactions. The Evolution of Phishing Attacks study was based on data collected from the cloud-based Kaspersky Security Network, which includes over 60 million participants around the world. These specific results from the study are further supported by the findings of a global survey conducted in the spring of 2013 by B2B International and Kaspersky Lab. This analysis found that about 37 percent of all banks surveyed were affected by phishing attacks at least once over the previous 12 months. As a result, computers and mobile devices today need to have a quality security solution in place to ensure the safe use of online resources. Solutions like Kaspersky Lab’s Kaspersky PURE and Kaspersky Internet Security, which include Safe Money, a key technology that protects user data during online financial transactions. Safe Money includes advanced anti-phishing features, which prevent the execution of any potentially dangerous code in the browser. Additionally, the technology checks that users are entering legitimate sites using its constantly updated database of trusted websites and phishing URLs. At the same time, the heuristic mechanisms integrated in the Kaspersky Lab products can effectively detect malicious links even if they are not included in the database.
