The suspected head of a major phishing gang that stole as much as $37 million from online bank accounts was arrested in Brazil by federal police last week.
Police in Rio de Janeiro grabbed Valdir Paulo de Almeida, the alleged leader of an 18-member phishing group that spammed a Trojan horse to approximately three millions e-mail accounts daily. The Trojan included a keylogger element -- keyloggers -- are two-to-three times more prevalent today than a year ago -- that recorded account unames and passwords, then fed them back to the gang.
