An increasing number of cybercriminals are turning to phishing<\/a> scams, it has been claimed.<\/p>\n

According to Symantec researcher Samir Patel, hackers are changing their strategies in an uncertain economic climate, as the popularity of spam falls.<\/p>\n

“This volatile economic state has perhaps impacted the strategy of email spammers in a very defining way as well, especially from the point of view of pushing additional spam mails,” he said.<\/p>\n

“A paradigm shift is being observed from spam to phishing. Therefore, it is worth lending some thought to the modus operandi of spammers.”<\/p>\n

Mr. Patel noted that a fall in consumer spending, as a result of the difficult economic conditions, has affected the success of spamming campaigns.<\/p>\n

Fewer people are being lured into purchasing spam products, as they are being more discerning about their purchases, he claimed.<\/p>\n

According to a survey conducted by YouGov, 42 per cent of people felt their trust in a brand would be greatly reduced it they received a phishing email.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
