nellie2 Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 The PIRT Squad has issued its Top 20 plus brands targetted by phishers for the month of July. We see some new brands rise up into the top 20 spot, plus some new brands show up onto our full list. The top three for July: PayPal, eBay, and Bank of America.Click here for the full list.Don't forget to report your phishing emails... the PIRT team are doing a great job but they need input from you.

cozofdeath Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Very very very nice list. Not surprising the first two were paypal and ebay but some of the others were. I've personally seen some fake palpay sites and man do they do it up good. Everyone really needs to watch out for these. They are getting better and better at fooling people.

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 While these phishing sites may look authentic, it should at once be clear to anyone that they are not - by just having the shortest glance at the address bar. Look at thishttp://www.malermeister-bauer.at/gbook/smi....com/index.htmlAnybody who does not immediately start laughing should not be using a computer!There are many tools that can help to identify fake login sites, the best probably being the Google toolbar for Firefox. Not only does it warn users when attempting to go to a known phishing site, it also allows us report new phishing sites to Google. (I don't know why the IE version of the toolbar does not have this feature).P.S. regarding the Malermeister Bauer website in Austria, I have sent them an email in German telling them about the hijack of their site.
