"I wrote a paper a while back rather verbosely entitled Phishing Detection and Prevention: Practical Counter-Fraud Solutions, full of technically detailed discussion regarding tactics for dealing with phishing as a network security problem. It's also completely useless for my parents, my kids, or anyone else who isn't elbows-deep in networking gear - in other words, precisely the people who are the ideal targets for phishing campaigns and identity theft. Enter Markus Jakobsson. He's an associate professor at Indiana University, and is widely considered to be the preeminent academic authority on phishing and related online crime. He's also that rare combination of both brilliant and practical. The latest manifestation of his unique perspective on battling Internet crime can be enjoyed at SecurityCartoon.com."
