Some issues require action rather than words. A new, pernicious form of fraud began sweeping the Internet two years ago and was one such issue demanding action for communications security company Tumbleweed. “Phishing” involves an email arriving in your Inbox, purporting to be from a bank or other trading institution, requesting that you go to a seemingly innocent website to update your banking details, give your credit card details, and so on. Those details are then collected by fraudsters. The growth of the phishing phenomenon led Tumbleweed to establish an international industry body - The Anti-Phishing Working Group. The APWG includes major US banks, online retailers, the CIA, FBI and IT vendors as members. Its aim is to wipe out Internet scams and fraud.
