Lately I have grown fed up with the recent rise in spoofing of financial sites that is occurring through email and on the web. A couple of days ago a I received a very official notice from what claimed to be PayPal. This email included a link to fill out a form located on their website dealing specifically with security concerns. So, immediately, since this was an HTML email, I looked at the source and determined that the link wouldn&#8217;t take me to PayPal&#8217;s site but one with a domain of mycitisecure.com .. Visiting that site (without the rest of the URL) reveals a spoof of the Citibank site complete with the proper url in the location bar. Going to the actual URL that they sent reveals a replica of a PayPal site in the same manner. Now THAT is BAD NEWS.<br \/>\nIn any case, I want to do something about this and am looking for a place to start. Perhaps the link above will yield something worthwhile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>E-Evidence Information Center &#8211; Organizations, etc So, of course, with the power of organized communication networks (like the internet) comes the potential for misuse.
