Spy-phishing

From Saferpedia

Spy-phishing is a term invented by Jeffrey Aboud from Trend Micro at the Virus Bulletin 2006 conference in Montreal. It is defined as "crimeware" (a kind of threat that results in fraudulent financial gains) and capitalizes on the trend of "blended threats". It borrows techniques from both phishing and spyware. The downloaded applications sit silently on the user's system until the targeted URL is visited wherein it activates, sending information to the malicious third party. Through the use of spyware and other Trojans, spy-phishing attempts to prolong the initial phishing attacks beyond the point at which the phishing site is available.
