What is Phishing?
by Eck

Phishing is the act of gaining information such as passwords, credit card details, and other sensitive information by pretending to be a trustworthy company/business.

Commonly Phishers use email and sometimes instant messaging, whilst masquerading as, for example;  Paypal, Ebay or a well known bank. A common trick is to apparently link to a legimate site, while actually re-directing you to an identical looking fake site, where you will be asked to give information such as your banking details/username/password etc.

Note, that by using Javascript for instance, the Phisher can even make it appear that you are on the real site by placing a false address in your address bar. More in-depth methods include cross-site scripting, where the Phisher makes use of holes in a legitimate website’s scripts to gain information from you.

It can become very in-depth, (more than someone with my basic computing knowledge can explain.)

Rapidshare Phishing:

On adult forums the main threat is from Phishers who want to get hold of the accounts of Rapidshare premium members. Non premium members are also a major target as the false Rapidshare website will contain a link for opening a premium account. Obviously entering your credit card/paypal details into this false website will lose you money….

AT&T launches its own browser, Pogo

April 25th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Misc

The obvious first question one asks the AT&T execs when beginning a discussion of Pogo, the company’s new Web browser, is “What is AT&T doing getting into the browser market?” The answer you get is, at first, amusing. It’s a chance to build “another relationship with the customer,” they say. They also tell you it could be a great conduit for AT&T messages (e.g., brand or product advertising). Sounds like the makings for a truly awful product, does it not?

But here’s the weird thing: Pogo is not awful. Putting aside what might happen to the product should the AT&T brand Nazis get hold of it, it is, even in the early beta I got access to, a solid, usable Web browser.
