About eBlocs Threat Level (http://www.eblocs.com)
The eBlocs Threat Level is based upon results from a threat analysis of recent Phishing attempts. Phishing threats will receive an eBlocs Threat Level rating of between three and five. This rating is determined by several factors, including whether the Phishing site is active or inactive. Many Phishing sites cycle between active and inactive – sometimes daily – in an effort to avoid detection by Internet Service Providers. Because of this, the eBlocs Threat Level of Phishing threats is dynamic, adjusting in real time as the threat evolves.
