Phishing 2.0: the new evolution in cybercrime

Abstract

Phishing is simply trying to trick people into doing something – be it opening a malicious email attachment, clicking a link, transferring funds or revealing confidential data. As such, it carries with it the stigma of having been foolish enough to be caught out, especially in light of large-scale programmes to educate users and encourage healthy scepticism when looking at your inbox or messages.
