"The tactics of spammers, hackers, and other online con artists are becoming increasingly sophisticated," said Nancy Anderson, deputy general counsel for Microsoft, in a statement.

Microsoft on Wednesday said it would contribute both software and a paid analyst to a forensics organization that's fighting phishing scams.

The Redmond, Wash.-based developer is handing over $46,000 in software and the services of a full-time analyst to the National Cyber-Forensics and Training Alliance (NCFTA), a group created by the FBI, the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C), and others.

The analyst's primary responsibility will be to analyze data related to phishing attacks, although he'll also assist in investigating data about compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act, the federal anti-spam legislation that went into effect Jan. 1.

The analyst will be drawn from Microsoft's Internet Safety Enforcement group.

Phishing scams typically begin with spammed e-mail messages that entice users to fake Web sites which mimic legit sites. Once at the bogus site, consumers are asked to enter passwords and other confidential information, such as bank and credit card numbers.

Phishing attacks have skyrocketed this year, increasing nearly 200 percent in April over the previous month, and have been linked to organized crime rings in Eastern Europe.

"The tactics of spammers, hackers, and other online con artists are becoming increasingly sophisticated," said Nancy Anderson, deputy general counsel for Microsoft, in a statement. "These collaborative partnerships among law enforcement, government, industry, and academia are one important mechanism to contain this illegal and destructive activity, and restore consumer confidence in the Internet."
