Phucking Phisher
Well, as you can see by the picture to the left, the phisher was at it again.
So, me being who I am, I checked on this nasty phisher again and, naturally, he’d cleared the content and put his own back up. Well, this time, I went a little more subtle on him. Instead of renaming his old file and uploading my own, I just uploaded my own over his. If you look, you can see that I left most of his work in place, but added my own warning to anyone who might click on the link this stupid phisher put in his spam message. I might keep this up for a bit, since it’s so easy and will hopefully drive at least one scumbag out of business.
Now, you might ask yourself why I don’t just assault the phisher or his site directly. Well, there’s two reasons. First, I imagine that this is a compromised site and not the phisher’s own. So, if I attacked the site itself, I’d be damaging his victim twice. Secondly, this way, if anyone does click on the link, I might educate someone so that they don’t just click on any link they get via e-mail. The best way to hit these scammers is by way of educating people enough so that they don’t fall prey to these tactics.
Oh, also, notice that I left the compromised site’s address visible in the graphic. Since this has become an educational tool, I figure everyone who reads my blog might as well get educated!
