Some key findings of this report: • 2016 was the worst year ever for phishing. The total number of phishing attacks observed by the APWG in 2016 was a record 1,220,523, 65% more than in 2015. • In the fourth quarter of 2004, he saw 1,609 APWG phishing attacks per month. In the fourth quarter of 2016, APWG averaged 92,564 phishing attacks per month, an increase of 5,753% in 12 years. • Fraudsters in Brazil are using traditional and social media phishing to defraud Internet users. They are also using technical tricks to make it more difficult for responders to stop these scams. • The phishers focused on fewer goals during the holiday season and achieved performance goals or less experimental. • The phishers did not need to choose domain names that help fool victims.
