Phishing schemes are becoming increasingly sophisticated and are constantly evolving to include new ways to win over a potential victim.

 

Phishing pages targeting financial institutions have historically included functionality for collecting bank account login credentials, bank account information, payment card data, additional personally identifiable information (PII), and browser fingerprints. As threat actors continue to improve their methods,  phishing pages have been seen with additional functionality designed to increase victim’s “trust” in the phishing pages and to increase threat actors’ capacity to pivot to second-stage fraud schemes.

Phishing is a type of social engineering where an attacker sends a fraudulent (e.g., spoofed, fake, or otherwise deceptive) message designed to trick a person into revealing sensitive information to the attacker or to deploy malicious software on the victim's infrastructure like ransomware. Phishing attacks have become increasingly sophisticated and often transparently mirror the site being targeted, allowing the attacker to observe everything while the victim is navigating the site, and transverse any additional security boundaries with the victim. As of 2020, phishing is by far the most common attack performed by cybercriminals, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Centre recording over twice as many incidents of phishing than any other type of computer crime.
