And the beat goes on...

As reported by Computerworld, three regional banks in the US were hacked in new spoofing attack:

"Earlier this month, attackers were able to hack servers run by the Internet service provider (ISP) that hosted the three banks' Web sites.  They then redirected traffic from the legitimate Web sites to a bogus server, designed to resemble the banking sites, according to Bob Breeden, special agent supervisor with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's Computer Crime Center.

Users were then asked to enter credit card numbers, PINs (Personal Identification Numbers) and other types of sensitive information, he said.

According to Breeden, the affected banks are Premier Bank, Wakulla Bank, and Capital City Bank, all small regional banks based in Florida."
