Bitdefender, the leading digital data security company, is
warning the users about the rapid growth in the phishing attacks. The company
recently made a post on its official blog, which states that there is a 10
percent increase in the number of phishing websites, in the first quarter of
2014 when compared with the same period, last year. This statistic is according
to the report provided by Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG).
Installing comprehensive security solutions like those of
Bitdefender can help you in staying protected from all online phishing attacks.
Plus, staying in contact with Bitdefendertechnical support also helps, as they can help you to keep your Bitdefender
solution working in its optimal state.
Meanwhile, it is an undeniable fact that the phishing
attacks are on the rise and one can’t hide from this problem. According to the
APWG report most of the phishing websites (around 40 percent of total) are
hosted in the US. In all, there are 125,000 phishing websites and 171,000 email
phishing campaigns, currently active and tricking-infecting users around the
globe. A rise in the number of brands targeted by the attackers in order to
make their scam campaign legitimate, can also be seen. It jumped from 525 to
557.
“The first quarter of 2014 saw the second highest number of
phishing attacks ever recorded in a first quarter by the APWG,” said APWG.
The bottom line is that now, the attacks are more advanced
and more powerful, and there is no way to run away from the issue. Users have
to take all preventive measures so that they can prevent all the mishaps.
Additionally, staying in contact with good technical support sources like
SupportMart and a few others is also helpful. The good thing is some of these
support companies provide support for multiple brands. Simply dial their
respective help number like, PC support number, antivirus support number, or HP printer technical support number
etc. and then get the much required technical support.
