da: (bit)
I received a phishing email at work from my bank (TD) which used a url-redirector at THE REAL BANK'S WEBSITE to get to the fake site.

That is: www.tdcanadatrust·com/servlet/infosite.servlet.OutBoundServlet?RequestedPage=phishing·url/urgent_verifying/update.inf

Thunderbird didn't think it was phishing. The destination URL originally went to a copy of the bank's site; two hours later, it was deactivated by the host, and Firefox warns it is a phishing attempt.

The bank hasn't deactivated the redirector. I'm curious how long it will stay active. They should be pretty embarrassed; this isn't rocket-science, and there's no reason you should be able to pull crap like this.
da: A smiling human with short hair, head tilted a bit to the right. It's black and white with a neutral background. You can't tell if the white in the hair is due to lighting, or maybe it's white hair! (Default)
Why didn't anyone tell me these existed?

Holy moley that looks like fun. Cheaper than parachuting, also.

[ETA: the nearest one to here seems to be somewhere unspecified in Michigan, then one in NH. I don't think I'll make a multi-day trip out of it, but if I already happen to be visiting near one of these...]
