A phishing wolf in sheep's clothing

This is getting ridiculous!

Online criminals are increasingly using cross-site scripting flaws to inject their own code into legitimate Web page URLs, the network security services company said in a note posted on its site Monday. With these sites, the attackers can try to dupe unsuspecting consumers into falling for phishing scams.

"The majority of phishing Web sites are only semibelievable, and end users are starting to see through those," said Paul Mutton, an Internet services developer at Netcraft. "But with cross-site scripting, people are more likely to fall for the scam, because the URL actually belongs to a real business. It just has content added by a third party."

Yes it is a scary world out there.

It is getting harder to tell what's real and what's not nowadays.

Thanks for the information.

God bless everyone.
