Gartner: Bank card fraud too easy for phishers

U.S. banks are putting customer convenience ahead of security
and, in the process, making it much easier for online "phishers"
to create counterfeit bank cards, according to a Gartner report
released Tuesday. And with the Internet now a common source of
stolen account information, phishers are accounting for a
growing portion of the estimated $2.75 billion in annual losses
that bank card abuse is costing U.S. banks, the research firm
said.

version of its Exchange Server as part of its unified messaging

third-party ISV partners.
