Since yesterday we’re monitoring a weird development. Usually, the top phishing targets are eBay and Paypal. But now, phishing-sites for the Chase bank are spreading very fast.

Weird incident: New no. 1 in phishing targets is the Chase bank.

There were spam runs with emails which are claiming that the Chase bank is doing a survey concerning the financial crisis – additionally those emails promise money for taking the survey.

Phishing-mails promise money for taking a survey - which is nothing less than a scam trying to phish the user data.

That survey is of course a fake, trying to phish the user data. Don’t follow the link in these emails, but delete such mails!
