Montreal, Canada (PRWEB) February 2, 2005
Vircom, Inc., developer of Modus secure email management solutions, will host its first web seminar on email phishing fraud on Tuesday, February 8, 2005, at 12:00 P.M. EST.
The free one-hour seminar will examine all elements of phishing emails, including actual examples caught by Vircoms SpamBuster team as well as simple ways to recognizing and avoid them. Attendees will discover what they can do to fight phishing using a combination of technology and end-user awareness.
With instances growing at a rate of fifty percent every month, phishing has become a very serious form of email fraud, said Francois Bourdeau, Vircoms director of marketing. We developed this seminar as a way to educate people on the characteristics of phishing scams and to demonstrate that they can be proactive in eradicating the problem.
