Subject: Phishing Metamorphosis in 2007 - Trends and
	Developments

During 2007, phishers demonstrated for yet another consecutive year
their persistence and creativity on their way to socially engineer as
many people online as possible, into believing they are who they
pretend to be. Why did phishers embrace economies of scale during
2007, what factors contributed to the constantly shrinking period of
time it takes for the phishers to come up with a fake email, and how
come that despite all the public awareness put into the problem,
people still fall victim to phishing scams? This article aims to
provide an overview of the key factors that contributed to the growth
and evolution of phishing during the year.
