My good friend William Heath reported on his quite interesting Ideal Government blog how an intelligent member of the general public (in this case, himself) found it impossible to distinguish between legitimate bank communications and phishing attacks. Recently, via the excellent Payments News, I was alerted to an article containing the detailed anatomy of a 3D Secure phishing attack. As this shows, even a tolerably well-informed person finds it hard to keep themselves safe.
