High-income earners are being preferentially targeted by online "phishing" scams, research has shown.
Phishing involves using e-mails with links to fake websites to trick people into revealing bank account numbers.
The study, by analysts Gartner, found that people who earn more than $100,000 received nearly 50% more phishing e-mails than lower earners.
It also found that those on higher incomes lost on average four times more money than other victims.
Overall, the number of US adults who have received a phishing e-mail has doubled from 57 million in 2004 to 109 million in 2006. Overall losses from the attacks have risen to $2.8 billion (£1.5 billion), Gartner estimates.
