Furtwangen, June 12, 2014 – Fraud on the Internet – especially in online banking – is currently increasing rapidly.

The number of attacks on online banking is currently increasing rapidly.
According to the German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), around 4,100 successful phishing attacks on online banking were reported in 2013.
This represents an increase of almost 20 percent compared to the previous year.
