Websense: Phishing for Fishing
Via The Websense Security Labs Threat Blog.
The term Phishing is partially derived from the practice of using sophisticated, deceptive bait in the hope of catching financial information from the end-users.More here.
Well, in this case the bait is an online Boat Trading Web site. The victim actually appears to be Trader Online, which is a new and used online shopping site for expensive goods such as boats, motorcycles, and airplanes. It also looks like the Rock group has added this brand to their kit. One may wonder why anyone would want credentials for Trader Online. Perhaps it’s due to the high-end clientele that probably uses this service to sell yachts, RVs, and even planes on the site.
