Microsoft targets 'phishing' with 117
new lawsuits 03/31/2005 03:24 PM
Microsoft Corp. says it is filing 117 lawsuits against unknown Internet site operators it charged were engaged in "phishing" schemes to obtain personal and financial information from unsuspecting consumers. The "John Doe" defendant lawsuits are to be filed in U.S. District Court in Washington state in an attempt to establish connections between worldwide phishers and discover the largest-volume operators. Officials are also warning consumers to be on the lookout for potential internet scams involving April Fool’s Day on Friday. Some scams are getting more and more sophisticated, some by including what looks like a legitimate Internet address link but once clicked on by the user, they are instead directed to a different, fraudulent site asking for personal information. Consumers are urged to be suspicious of unexpected e-mails seeking personal data, to not click on links in those e-mails, and verify contacts from institutions that claim a person is a victim of identity theft.

Microsoft sues 117 over 'phishing' 03/31/2005 05:03 PM
Microsoft Corp. has filed 117 lawsuits against unknown Internet site operators who used "phishing" schemes to obtain personal and financial information from unsuspecting consumers, the world's largest software maker said on Thursday. Often scam artists pose as banks or other legitimate businesses, sending out millions of e-mails or pop-up Web advertisements with requests that the recipient update their account information but instead direct them to fake sites.

Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft said it was filing "John Doe" defendant lawsuits in U.S. District Court in Washington state in an attempt to establish connections between worldwide "phishers" and discover the largest-volume operators. "We must work together to stop these con artists from misusing the Internet as a tool for fraud," Aaron Kornblum, Internet safety enforcement attorney at Microsoft, said in a statement.

"Reams have been written about Windows and Linux," the ad reads, "Let's skip to the bottom line."
