Among the spam in my email every day, I get messages from "Fifth Third Bank." Of course, these are just phishing attacks. (I can be fairly confident of that, since I've never had an account at Fifth Third.)
Two questions:
1) Why do the phishers claim to be from Fifth Third and not some other bank? (I've noticed some "Bank of America" spam too, but not as much.)
2) Are there other legitimate companies whose identities have been stolen to a similar extent for phishing scams?
