Kudos to California for being the first state to step up to the plate and make phishing illegal. The bill, signed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, allows victims to seek to recover actual damages or monetary remuneration for each phishing violation, depending upon which is greater. Sadly, over the past several years, phishing attacks have not just increased in number, but they’ve also become more devious and sophisticated. Want to test your knowledge of phishing? There’s an Internet quiz available online specifically designed to test an Internet user’s phishing IQ. For more information on phishing in general, visit the Anti-Phishing Working Group website.
