I would suggest notifying the bank in any case.

What would surprise me, though, is that Barclays is using htdig for anything other than an intranet or extranet search (password protected).

I wouldn't read too much into it...

A phishing attempt to trap customers of Barclays Bank that's just
arrived contains a <!--htdig_noindex--> section in the html part of the
mail, specifically the part that includes the rogue website address.

I wonder if the noindex section would have been part of Barclays'
standard format that the phishers have copied (big win for htdig there!)
or if the phishers are using it, or even if an organisation like the
Anti-Phishing Working Group use it and the phishers are trying to
confuse them.


Just a bit of idle curiousity really.
