"This site was created with one goal; to create the most comprehensive online archive of information and digital photos of the Coventry Vermont Phish show, August 14th and 15th 2004." Seems odd to think folks went to the trouble of dedicating an entire website to just a single concert, until you learn it was the very last one for Phish.

Phishing behind Google


Phishing behind Google 08/28/2004 01:03 AM

I just received a phishing email purporting to be from PayPal.  No surprise there since I get many of them everyday, but I looked closer at this one because it looked very professionally done.  I looked at the raw message and found this odd link:

This particular phisher is bouncing off Google to hide itself from domain name-based phishing detectors and scanners.  Clever.  Clicking on the link will open a browser to Google's URL search CGI which will automatically redirect the browser to the phishing site at IP address 209.152.181.10.  This trick will bypass phishing detectors that examines only the domain name part of a URL to see if it looks suspicious.

So the lesson here for security developers is to look at all the parameters and to keep track of oh-so-helpful redirectors like Google.  Also, website developers should keep in mind that helpful service is helpful to all, including the bad guys, and they might become an unwitting partner in crime.  For lawyers, it's a new source of income concern.

Political Phishing


Political Phishing 08/03/2004 12:32 PM
It's election season, and that means that, just like with all the other news-sensitive scams, phishers are getting political. The latest is a phishing email that simply copied a donation request from the John Kerry campaign, but changed the link to a fake site. Of course, the folks behind the scam made one very stupid mistake: remotely using an image hosted on the Kerry website -- which was quickly changed by the campaign to explain that the site was a scam (though, it's likely this confused some people -- hopefully enough to stop them from donating). Still, it's likely that the next version won't make the same mistake. With the success phishing emails have had lately, and the fervor with which people seem to be donating to campaigns, an awful lot of cash supposedly going to campaigns is going to be making criminals wealthy.

Looks like the trick of using redirection CGIs at popular website (described in Phishing with Google) is getting popular among phishers. I just got a couple that uses AOL's redir-complex CGI at:

http://r.aol.com/cgi/redir-complex?url=whereever

Note that phishers can use not just the redirecting CGIs, but also those CGIs that use return URL as parameters.  In fact, these types of CGIs are popular among financial institutions and single-sign on services.  For example, both Passport and 3D-Secure uses them.

Phishing Gang Arrested In The UK


Phishing Gang Arrested In The UK 05/05/2004 02:14 PM
Over in the UK, they've arrested 12 people involved in a big phishing scam. Unlike previou s arrests that found individuals who did a bad job of phishing, this one actually appears to be a roundup of those involved with an organized crime group. Of course, the downside is that those arrested are most likely low level operatives in the scam - which probably operates out of eastern Europe. All of those arrested were eastern European natives living in the UK, and were mostly used to set up local bank accounts to store the money they stole via the phishing scams. While this may eventually lead back to those responsible, what's more likely is that they'll just recruit a new batch of low level scammers and the phishing scams will just keep going.
