The APWG, established in 2003 as the Anti-Phishing Working Group, is an industry association focused on unifying
the global response to cybercrime. The organization provides a forum for responders and managers of cybercrime to discuss
phishing and cybercrime issues, to consider potential technology solutions, to access data logistics resources for
cybersecurity applications and for cybercrime forensics, to cultivate the university research community dedicated to
cybercrime and to advise government, industry, law enforcement and treaty organizations on the nature of cybercrime.
