The report cites an example of a phishing attack on AOL, which hosts bebo.com with tens of millions of users. The phish established with animation what appeared to be three-step secure Web login sending personal information to the AOL billing center. Once there, the user was presented with an elaborate Web page that collects personal, credit card, banking and login credential information with a warning that AOL would never send an email to collect this information.

The report also cites research from Kaspersky Lab which lists its top 10 places to watch out for phishing predators. The list includes some of the world's most popular web sites, including Paypal, Ebay, HSBC, Facebook, Google, IRS, RAPIDSHARE, Bank of America, UBI (United Bank of India), and Bradesco (one of the four leading banks in Brazil).
