What is the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG)?

**APWG** is an international coalition focused on eliminating **phishing** and email fraud. Members include financial institutions, technology companies, law enforcement, and government agencies. They share threat intelligence and coordinate responses to **phishing** campaigns.

**APWG** maintains the eCrime Research database tracking **phishing** attacks globally. They publish reports on **phishing** trends, techniques, and countermeasures. Their data helps organizations understand evolving threats.

For senders, **APWG** work matters because **phishing** undermines email trust generally. Phishing attacks **spoofing** your brand damage recipient relationships. Understanding **APWG** resources helps implement defenses (DMARC, BIMI) and respond when your brand is targeted.
