you didnt hear how earthlink was running one of the largest phishing sites out there just to make a quick buck? This was quite the news story the last little while. Now they werent intentionally running a phishing site, they just redirected every bad url to a server in the UK which had a problem in its javascript (it just displays ads but looks like the real site) and lets you embed anything you want. So if you tell someone to goto http://money.paypal.com they will make it look like you really are at paypal and not some squirley ad based company in the UK. Earthlink isnt the only one, basically they are doing what verisign did a few years ago. The story was slashdotted today but broke a couple days ago. So its easy to see how people can fall for it, the ISPs trying to make a little extra money make it so much more convincin http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&tab=wn&ncl=1152280840 > -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel Belfast +44 28 9099 6461 US +1 516 687 5200 http://www.trxtel.com the phone company that pays you! _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
