| Re: More Phishing News..... Quick response is the only way to nail them. One thing they all have in common is that they have to direct the victim to a web site that may in turn relay to another site. If these sites can be tracked before they take them down, soon or later there will be a trail leading to the real culprits.
Unfortunately, trying to report a phish is too complicated and time consuming. I tried a few times, but the report forms either made me feel like a criminal (FBI web site), requested too much of my private information (FBI and some financial sites), or was just too cumbersome to use (most of them). Just forwarding from Outlook does not work--headers get lost, but trying to email the entire message source does not work either--typically flagged as spam and rejected. By the time one goes through the hoops and someone bothers to read the report, the phishers have long since moved on. | |
