The Dumbing Down of SportPhishing

The current crop of phisherpersons can´t see the phorest phor the phurze. Legend has it that the first description of the phishing technique dates back to a 1987 presentation at an Interex conference by Jerry Felix and Chris Hauck (“System Security: A Hacker´s Perspective”; (www.peterjbentley.com/ bibliography.pdf). Within 10 years, the technique was informally named phishing (www.brighthub.com/internet/security-privacy/articles/82116.aspx). That was eons ago in IT years-plenty of time to evolve into new and mysterious techniques. So why is it that we´re still trolling for the bottom feeders of the phishing world?
