Phishing gangs "Drip" market to target top banks

I recently noticed a surge in phishing email attacks against a few banks and thought I would take a closer look. Looking only at one sample quarantine here is what I found for the last few days:



JP Morgan Chase - 200 (4 days)
Bank of America - 130 (7 days)
Suntrust - 9 (one day only)



It seems Phishers are deploying traditional email "drip" marketing techniques. For more information on this style of marketing see this write up in Wikipedia.
