RE: [HV-PAPER] Anti-Phishing Tips You Should NotFollow

["Thomson, Ross" <ross.thomson () capgemini com>]

I have seen one phishing site which did exactly that-

It tried to login to the real site with the credentials you supplied;  if it
returned a successful login, the userid/password was logged. If it returned
a 'access denied' the userid/password was not logged.

Really? I thought they somehow magically knew enough about you to sign you
in properly and display all the correct details ;)

Seriously though, it wouldn't be that hard to forward the POST on to the
real bank website, would it?
