For those of our membership curious to learn more about Phishing attacks, I am providing a link to a white paper. "Behind the Scenes of Phishing Attacks." written by The Honeynet Project & Research Alliance, May 2005.

QUOTE
This KYE white paper aims to provide practical information on the practice of phishing and draws on data collected by the German Honeynet Project and UK Honeynet Project. This paper focuses on real world incidents that the Honeynet Project has observed in the wild, but does not cover all possible phishing methods or techniques. Attackers are constantly innovating and advancing, and there are likely to be new phishing techniques already under development or in use today.
