Now Phishing Sites Can Be Created in 2 Seconds?
Posted on Jul 14, 2007 by Tom Fragala
The TrendMicro Anti-Malware Blog points to a rather creepy new technology for hackers:
Approximately two seconds is now all it takes to create phishing sites with the use of a new “plug and play” phishing kit that malicious users have fashioned to automate the installation of a phishing site. This kind of phishing kit signals a disturbing development in online fraud. If similar toolkits emerge, phishing sites might grow exponentially and more people could fall for phishing attempts. Users should be alert to such attempts and give pause before giving away personal credentials online, especially when accessing banking-related sites.
