WARNING!!! INTERNET SECURITY!!!! (sticky this)

Welcome to the Internet

🙂
seriously though - this kind of stuff happens all the time.

I've always wondered...
1,000,000 e-mails sent out.
1% fall for it (I think this is a low estimate)
that's 10,000 card numbers.
5,000 dollar limit = 50,000,000 dollars.

I'm in the wrong business.
 
Heh, one of the C-level's admin called the help desk because WebSense was filtering out the web site she wanted to go to, category: Phishing. :roll:

Websense is great for users who don't have any.

I can't believe people would fall for that...pretty obvious. I mean, there are other scams that have a legit-looking URL, at least...I've been getting these Chase ones a lot. Too bad I don't have a Chase card:roll:

I am personally offended by your "fvckinggermans" picture title. What about "fvckinghaxors" instead?

then all the haxors will be offended.

besides, it was a german clan that did this.

OMG PHISHING! SOMEONE ALERT THE PRESS

look, like i said before, some of your friends and family might fall for it. look at what i wrote in the op. i was just trying to make sure that you guys could warn your friends/family.

that visa page looks real and could easily fool people. also, it came from a visa.com email address, which could also fool people.
