Hi, According to http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/08/19/diy_phishing/ , there is a phishing DIY kit, probably someone is using the kit to establish those phishing sites. On Tue, 5 Oct 2004 15:20:58 -0700, Hubbard, Dan <dhubbard () websense com> wrote:
Starting Sunday afternoon (Oct 5, 04) we are currently seeing a massive increase in the amount of phishing sites (more than a 10 times increase than our regular load). There is not one particular brand being targeted but several. The one piece of commonality is that these almost all are being hosted on IP addresses and mostly outside of the US. It appears as though some sort of toolkit maybe available and/or a set of tools that are utilizing a large bot network for this. Does anyone have any evidence or other information to share regarding this? _______________________________ Dan Hubbard Security & Technology Research Websense Security Labs http://www.WebsenseSecurityLabs.com
