Summary

The Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) is a non-profit organization focused on combating cybercrime through data exchange, research, and public awareness. Their primary platform, the eCrime Exchange (eCX), allows members to report and analyze phishing emails and smishing texts, providing a “gold standard” record for automated responses. APWG offers membership tiers including corporate and sponsoring options, and hosts an annual eCrime conference (eCrime2026) to facilitate collaboration and research. In 2025, phishing attacks, particularly those utilizing social media, SMS, and email, significantly increased. The eCX data clearinghouse provides confidence factors to guide the use of data for automated responses and is designed for developers, responders, and investigators.
