The APWG released its "Global Phishing Survey for 2H2009".  The survey's key finding was not surprising to those of us that battle phishing every day: the Avalanche group of attacks was responsible for 2 out of 3 phishing attacks during the period.  At IID, the Avalanche attacks garnered a great deal of our attention during 2009, and still do today.  Please take the time to read the report (in PDF).  I'd like to thank IID's CTO Rod Rasmussen and Afilias' Greg Aaron, who both put a lot of time and effort into producing this report twice each year for the benefit of the entire anti-phishing community.  Here's a link to the APWG press release.
