The Threat Map gives a clear illustration of the advancement of fraudulent activity as criminals' branch into new countries to deploy and house attacks. Over the past few months, Websense has seen a major increase in the number of phishing and crimeware related websites in the Republic of Korea and China. The United States continues to be the top country of origin for criminal activity on the Internet.
"In less than a year's time, we have seen phishing techniques evolve from what would appear to be done for bragging rights between hackers to what is now full fledged electronic crime," said Dan Hubbard, senior director of security and technology research for Websense, Inc.
Websense Security Labs mines and analyzes over 70 million sites daily for malicious mobile code (MMC) and hacks. The team manages a global honeynet of unprotected computers to discover MMC, new Trojan horses, keyloggers and blended threats. The findings are used to study their techniques, actions, and behavior on an enterprise network system.
