You could probably see this one coming. With all of the
confusion and money involved you knew there would be
cyber-vultures out there looking to cash in. Well the Federal
Trade Commission today issued a warning that indeed such
increased phishing activities are taking place. Specifically the
FTC said it was urging user caution regarding e-mails that look
as if they come from a financial institution that recently
acquired a consumer's bank, savings and loan, or mortgage. In
many case such e-mails are only looking to obtain personal
information - account numbers, passwords, Social Security
numbers - to run up bills or commit other crimes in a consumer's
name, the FTC stated.
