Presented at BSidesSF 2015, April 20, 2015, noon (60 minutes)

This talk will take a look at modern phishing campaigns and how they have evolved from simple generic HTML based sites attempting to grab login credentials to full dynamic sites that almost flawlessly mirror the real ones attempting to gather login credentials, credit card information, and social security numbers. Topics covered will include discovered IoC's, various kits for sale, detection methods, top companies spoofed, and potential victim loss.
