Phishing was at record-high levels in March, taking advantage of the April 15 tax-filing deadline, according to a recent report [.pdf] by the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG).

For the first time, the organization reported more than 18,000 unique phishing reports within a month, collecting 18,480 for all of March. The study also noted 9,666 unique phishing sites received during the month. Last March saw 12,883 reports of unique phishing attempts.
