Google: Behind enemy lines in our war against account hijackers

(Google): http://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.ca/2014/11/behind-enemy-lines-in-our-war-against.html

    "This week, we're releasing a study of another kind of threat we've
     dubbed "manual hijacking," in which professional attackers spend
     considerable time exploiting a single victim's account, often causing
     financial losses. Even though they're rare--9 incidents per million
     users per day--they're often severe, and studying this type of
     hijacker has helped us improve our defenses against all types of
     hijacking."
