I'm not even sure that is technically a MITM attack. ---------------------------- Please take note of my new e-mail address: rdixon () wvgot org ----------------------------- Robert L.

Why are man-in-the-middle phishing sites suddenly talked about as a "new" threat, as if there was rocket science involved? For instance http://blog.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2006/07/citibank_phish_spoofs _2factor_1.html These things are basically proxies, which are as old as the web. Why does it surprise anyone to see these combined with phishing? (Then again, I still haven't figured out why phishing as we know it didn't "take off" circa 1994) Jeff Robertson Manager of Web Application Security Digital Insight ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: Watchfire Watchfire was recently named the worldwide market leader in Web application security assessment tools by both Gartner and IDC.
