25% of All Phishing Attacks from One Group
A single hacker group called “Avalanche” is responsible for a quarter of all phishing attacks in 2009, according to ComputerWorld. Check out the article for more details. That's pretty wild.

Quote:
The group attacks financial institutions, online services and job-search providers using fast-flux techniques that hide its actual attack sites behind an ever changing group of proxy machines, mainly hacked consumer computers, according to APWG's latest Global Phishing Survey.
