Symantec Joins the Aniti-Phishing Working Group

CUPERTINO, Calif. - Sept. 1, 2004 - Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq: SYMC), the global leader in information security, today announced its membership in the Anti-Phishing Working Group, an industry association committed to eliminating phishing scams. As a premium member of the Anti-Phishing Working Group, Symantec will sit on the steering committee and contribute to setting the organization's operational activities, research emphasis and solutions development focus.
Phishing attacks are a growing Internet threat that use e-mails, pop-ups and fraudulent Web sites to deceive recipients into disclosing personal financial data, such as credit card numbers, bank account information and social security numbers. Phishing scams often appear to come from legitimate e-commerce sites or from consumers' bank, credit card company, e-mail provider or Internet service provider, and they can lead to identity theft and fraud. A recent survey that Symantec conducted with InSightExpress found that 42.5 percent of consumers are very concerned about online fraud, and the majority of respondents have changed the way they use the Internet because of their concerns. About 32 percent of respondents said that they don't use the Internet for online banking and almost 15 percent of respondents stated that they don't trust the Internet.

"As a member of the Anti-Phishing Working Group, Symantec is committed to developing solutions to stop phishing, and we are also actively working to educate consumers about how to spot phishing scams and avoid becoming victims of online fraud."
