Phishing for your financials:

Three Florida banks have had their Web sites compromised by hackers in an attack that security experts are calling the first of its type.

Earlier this month, attackers were able to hack servers run by the Internet service provider that hosted the three banks' Web sites. They then redirected traffic from the legitimate Web sites to a bogus server, designed to resemble the banking sites, according to Bob Breeden, special agent supervisor with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's Computer Crime Center.

Users were then asked to enter credit card numbers, PINs, and other types of sensitive information, he said.
I think that 'growing mass" has always been there...I think technology just widen the possibilites of what people can do...and the information highway accelerated the growth...

And hey...florida...my home state...lovely...
