Major Italian Phishing gang rounded up by police

Finjan, a leader in secure web gateway products, has applauded the arrest of 26 people - eight of whom are foreign nationals - in what appears to one of Europe's largest ever phishing cases.

The arrests follow on from a massive attack on more than 10,000 Web pages last month, apparently by hackers seeking to create spurious copies of legitimate Web sites, using them to harvest account details using phishing emails.

Newswire reports say that the Guardia di Finanza have apprehended 18 Italian citizens plus eight East Europeans in an operation dubbed `Phish & Chip' by the Italian press.

The gang are reported have sent out spurious emails, directing users to forged Poste Italiane Web sites designed to steal their login information.

Yuval Ben-Itzhak, Finjan's CTO, said that the Italian police arrests represent a major milestone in stamping out the problem of organised crime on the Internet.

Phishing is a very pervasive problem, as many of the emails and Web sites really do look quite genuine, Yuval Ben-Itzhak continued, Companies should consider installing Web site security analysis software to counter this type of Internet fraud, whilst consumers should consider installing our free SecureBrowsing plug-in for their Web browser.

By FSJ 16/09/2025. The Housing and the Affordability issue: The architect said lets reason together as we build and design an energetic future with financially energized people; a discussion. By Mary Godwhen. Click here. BW Where would it go if I reverse engineer a "BAPE" shoe logo? Charles cares. He has vowed to have the most able and responsive Tiger economy in Europe and North America and the most safe and ably funded citizens in those regions; his citizens, his people. It is that we will be the economic winners; not losers; at the top and not the bottom...in front and not at the back. It would only take him a day to get it going. We can design anything. Certainly, anything we design demands and requires people with money for us to enjoy it; if it's a restaurant, an amusement park, a shopping centre or a town or city in general. The Bugatti sellers will have more sales and the Vauxhall owners will finally make full payment for the shopping and vacations; for their vehicles also. We do not enjoy suffering, lack or insufficiency. But maybe a vengeful bum might. Money is important. It has to be important. So, why are we incessantly brought to have this conversation about income support rather quite often when observing the economies west of Calais as run by; whom? Laissez Faire is not an economic policy but the policy of no policy in light of industrial mechanization of labor and the social problems it occasions when the families do not have enough money to buy their coal for heat, milk, bananas and vegetables. They would usually just take what they need; wherever they can take it. The economy is run by whom? The income support in Vermont, Minnesota and Massachusetts exceeds $70000.00 per year. This should be so for the whole, entire continent. But, some states and provinces, not all, are being run by income support benefit men touring boxes of undistributed emergency debit cards that they can now hand out to people in those camps. They seek public attention more than public efficacy. They have had enough time to solve the obvious. Money is the obvious issue but you wouldn't be waiting for an God fearing man to come and campaign on this issue when we know you can see the problem and solve it for us. We do not enjoy suffering, lack or insufficiency. But maybe a vengeful bum might. They are experimenting with money in terms of crypto or bit coin and its definition before they would agree to just HAVE MONEY. Money is the most important weapon in spite of all your Oppenheimer detonators that can't read help during peace time and for what when you would still need money?
