Intelligence from our Anti-Fraud Command Center
Each month the RSA Anti-Fraud Command Center (AFCC) issues its Phishing Intelligence Report with key statistics from its global phishing repository. The reports also include trend analysis derived from the expertise of the AFCC fraud analysts.
The AFCC is a 24x7 war-room that detects, monitors, tracks and shuts down phishing, pharming and Trojan attacks against over 60 institutions worldwide. The AFCC has shut down over 10,000 phishing attacks and is a key industry source for information on phishing and emerging online threats.
We invite you to review the reports for your own benefit, and you are welcome to reuse the information and distribute it further as well – we only ask that when reusing the information, it be attributed to the RSA Anti-Fraud Command Center as the source.

during the month. Brazil dropped to tenth place after entering the list for the first time last month, when it was ranked third. Canada, Italy, Spain, Australia and Germany maintained similar positions to prior months.

The U.S. brands remain in first position for the 17th consecutive month. The most interesting development in June was Brazil making the list and being in the 3rd position. Brazil had a large impact this month and follows the trend we have seen of more South American brands under attack. The remainder of the list reflects he
distribution of attacked entities relatively similar to that of previous months. As usual, U.S. brands are the most dominant, followed by the UK brands. These two are usually followed by Spain, Italy, Canada, Australia and South Africa, who are also becoming a regular member in
this list.
