Phishing up to 33 million per week

Ouch...Linux News: Business : Phishing Attacks Number 33 Million Each Week. Have you been sucked in? This is the #1 threat to e-mail today. If you can't trust it, why? I posted earlier that Gartner predicted a meaningful fall off in on-line e-commerce due to spam. This is before phishing. I will be quite interested in the e-commerce numbers this summer after we have had a substantial flood of phishing. I expect them to still be up, but I also expect to see a meaningful haircut on the growth numbers and a meaningful number of people more nervous about e-mail based transactions.
