We recently published volume 15 of the Microsoft Security Intelligence Report. This volume of the report contains detailed data on the types of phishing attacks Microsoft products helped to block during the first half of 2013. For the first time ever, the report also contains data on phishing attacks that targeted mobile device users; data on the phishing sites that Windows Phone 8 devices encountered provides valuable insights into one of the ways attackers are trying to take advantage of the rapidly growing number of mobile devices coming online.

Nothing new here (for me!) I have a mobile broadband service for my laptop – during the first half of 2013 I received a number of emails from the Nigerian type scammers – weird emails (written in Thai) with pics of young girls\boys (no prizes for guessing what they were about!) - and the, Hey! You just won a million bucks type emails – send all your details to us...blah, blah!

Haven't been pestered since then – so must be doing something right to get them out of my life!
