Hackers vs. Phishers

An anonymous reader writes "Some hackers out there don't like to do all the hard work of running a successful phishing campaign. Instead, they developed a simple online service to 'steal' account details from the hard-working phishers. Named AutoWhaler, the service allows anyone to scan a phishing server for log files that contain juicy information such as usernames and passwords."

  1. Weekend phishing by mancunian_nick · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The only time I was really interested in phishing was when I was a young teenager - more years ago than I sometimes care to remember. I used to love going to the end of Eastbourne pier but despite a lot of effort and determination, all I ever seemed to 'catch' were crabs and the occasional tiddler. These days I don't bother - older and the fact I'm not near the coast probably contribute to that. Oh well, c'est la vie.
