Summary

- Phishing remains most prevalent in the old, large gTLD .COM. But phishing is higher than normal in the new gTLDs and in repurposed ccTLDs
- Phishers are increasingly using web page redirects as a way of hiding their phishing sites from detection
- Half of all phishing attacks are now hosted on Web sites that have HTTPS and SSL certificates
- In Brazil, phishers turned away from attacking e-commerce sites, and concentrated on attacking banks and their customers
