Wasted Phishing campaign

TOPICS:

Posted By: Sorin Mustaca June 23, 2006

I just received a PayPal Phishing which is pretty nice. Nothing special about it .. this time.

The only problem is that they used a wrong link to the fake site:

http://1171700305:20/webscr/index.php?update.user.

The offending part is the port: 20.

Here is what Firefox says:

”
