How sophisticated the phishers have become!

Click on the title above to read an excellent article by Hiawatha Bray in the Boston Globe about the theft of e-mail addresses from Monster.com for "spear phishing." This is targeted e-mails, to the users of Monster.com, which will look as though they came from Monster. The recipients will be more likely to follow directions in these scam mails, since they used Monster in employment searches. Watch out!
