To issue a statement to all customers warning a wave of phishing e-mails being sent out to their customers.

StreamlineNet, a budget hosting company, today issued a statement to all customers warning a wave of phishing e-mails being sent out to their customers.

According to the company, fraudsters are sending bulk e-mail pretending to be from StreamlineNet asking customers to confirm certain secure details including their passwords. With this information the fraudsters are then able to gain access to customers hosting accounts, including e-mail, which may contain information that they can use to commit further illegal activities including identity fraud.

This style of phishing comes in the wake of sustained attacks on banks that phishing for bank details reaches saturation. StreamlineNet asks all of their customers to be cautious when reviewing their e-mail.
