Thank you for the link SM.
However, the link does not refer to phishing attacks reported this year.
The three attacks (1 ABC Banking Corporation and 2 MCB Ltd) listed are
dated as of last year.
There has been an evolution in the attacks with the people behind using the
domain names of the banks. The quality of the messages also have slightly
improved.
I reported phishing attacks using govmu.org domain. It is not listed on the
page.
