Re: What's a rock phish anyway?

said by nwrickert See Profile :

The rock phish email typically contains the url link attached to an image. Since most of the text of the phish email is in the image, this makes it difficult for heuristic mail filters to recognize this as a phish
Difficult, yep... but there are things "wrong" with how the phish emails are produced... that I'm not going to go into... but can be used to detect that it's a rock phish email.

Look on the stats page for items labelled "Rock", showing that it can be detected... certainly using ClamAV:
