US - Microsoft sues 117 phishers (out-law.com)
Microsoft has sued 117 phishers. The lawsuits, which will enable the software giant to identify the fraudsters behind phishing schemes, are part of the company's commitment to tackling cyber-crime. A typical phishing attack occurs when a fraudster sends an e-mail that contains a link to a fraudulent web site where users are asked to provide personal account information. The e-mail and web site are usually disguised to appear to recipients as though they are from a bank or other trusted service provider.
