Phishing Statistics - All Phishing
Phishing attacks are a growing threat and all computer users have to be aware of this. A phishing email is a message with a credible subject sent by email or instant messenger, asking for confidential data. Once entered, the user's information is no longer confidential and it is immediately used by the fraudsters in their own interest.
The Virus Lab at Avira conducts phishing origin analysis, based on the data collected by numerous trap accounts. This information offers an overview of the spreading of phishing attacks world-wide.
For a better view of the quantity of phishing emails in time, please observe the All Phishing Statistics. Select the time interval (Last 30 days, 7 days...) and see how the phishing attack amplitude varies each day.
Avira always advises its users to observe safety rules and to beware of the devious phishing mechanisms.
