March 24, 2008

"Nobody wants to become an identity thief's catch of the day," said Michael Cai, an analyst with Parks Associates and an outspoken advocate of online fraud protection. "Yet in nearly a third of all cases, online users open phishing e-mails luring them to fraudulent sites seeking their banking or other personal information. To date, the lack of consumer education and ineffective protection tools have been to blame for the increase in online fraud threats."
