How the Phishing Biz Works
Carl Bialik from the WSJ writes "Christopher Abad has spent much of the past six months 'stalking the phisher underground,' Lee Gomes writes in the Wall Street Journal. 'The typical phisher, he discovered, isn't a movie-style villain but a Romanian teenager, albeit one who belongs to a social and economic infrastructure that is both remarkably sophisticated and utterly ragtag. If, in the early days, phishing scams were one-person operations, they have since become so complicated that, just as with medicine or law, the labor has become specialized.' For instance, a phisher in Romania who successfully scores account information for someone in the U.S. may go on IRC to seek out a 'casher' to withdraw money from the target's account, and send a cut back to the phisher."
Wow, that's a real beauty! Well done, seriously :)
Remember that that cold soldering iron "Cold Heat" you see advertised on TV late night was invented by Romanian immigrants.

Someday, I'll have a real sig.
fluffy, stupid, sympering, cooing, ahhing.
The white middle class intellectual elite sipping coffee at a overpriced boudoir for gay and lesbian professionals whilst they nibble like a mouse on a nut cutlet, thinking about the enlightening wonders they are going to write in their blog that their only 2 friends in the world pretend they read.
Shall I reflect on another day in my cubicle ?
Or shall I dig up some freakshow 'souly' thing about what those in exotic places do for kicks ?
oooooooooooo...decisions..decisions...
It's always America's fault.
If I hadn't blown my mod points yesterday that would have been +1 funny.
Help poke pirates in the eyepatch, arr.
Yeah, because commuting to an office 2 hours each way and sitting in a cubicle isn't soul destroying at all.
Capitalism is almost as much a lie as communism. The people at the top completely get to screw over the ordinary worker.
It may not look entirely bad in the US, but have you seen capitalism in action in places where people (including kids) work half the day (12hrs+) in appalling conditions for pittance?
Even in somewhere that's a halfway house like Eastern Europe, people often can't afford to, for example, move out of their parent's house. They're coming to places like the UK and Ireland (full work permitted by new EU members there) where for now they can get better paying jobs, but it's a system in decline. Wages will have to continue to decline in the West too - and wages will only go up slowly and to a lower plateau elsewhere.
Ultimately, capitalism and the Western system will fall too. It is a lie (look at the US deficit - an entire economy running on a gaping overdraft). It will just take longer - and may be propped up for more than a century through the continued exploitation of the rest of the world.
