echobay Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 Good news...lil clickThese lil schemers want you to use your search button...Found this at Hack In The Box..Looks like they got it from CNet...i didn't do the linky thing...It's a small tidbit... Phishers are setting up fraudulent e-commerce Web sites and simply waiting for victims using Google and other search engines to find them, a security company has warned. Traditionally, phishing scammers have lured their victims to fraudulent Web sites by sending official-looking e-mails from well-known companies asking users to 'verify' their user names and passwords. Now, many are setting up legitimate looking e-commerce sites that disguise links to malicious software as pictures of goods on sale, CyberGuard said Wednesday. Paul Henry, a senior vice president at CyberGuard, said that when Web shoppers search the Internet looking for products they want to buy, they could be directed to a plausible e-commerce site that instructs them to "Click here to download images" of the product. Sad thing is these grinches will probably make a fortune too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
