A leading information security company based in Ireland has warned that internet criminals are becoming more advanced.

Dublin based Zerflow has issued the warning in relation to cybersquatters. The company warns that criminals are now using fake web site addresses that resemble legitimate businesses and people are logging on and giving away personal details.

Zerflow says that cybersquatters are now able to get their hands on credit card numbers or even money by using fake URLs or web site addresses.

Once a customer gives in their passwords or details they are told to return to the site later while attackers use the personal information to access on-line accounts.
