The Internet Services Providers’ Association (ISPA UK) is supporting a
new website launched by EuroISPA to raise awareness of the dangers of phishing,
and offer advice on how to avoid phishing scams.
Phishing is a form of online fraud where users are tricked into disclosing
important personal or financial information most commonly through ‘spoof’ or
imitation emails which appear to originate from a trusted source like a bank, a
financial institution or an e-commerce site.
| "The Internet industry is working hard to combat the
activities of phishers. ISPs are tackling the threat of phishing
through a marriage of educational and technical initiatives.
Effectively combating phishing requires action from Government, law
enforcement agencies, the Internet industry, banks, e-commerce
sites, credit card companies, and importantly end users." |
| Jessica Hendrie-Liaño, Chair of ISPA Council |
