Phishing Domains Hosting Multiple Phishing Sites

Well, well, well. What do we got here? Couple of interesting domains hosting phishing sites of multiple banks for you to take a look at, or at the cached versions to be precise. What's worth mentioning is the rise of phishing sites using the much more easily and anonymously registered .biz ; .info ; .name domains. However, the first part of these is related to 211.137.13.131 :

baldwindy.name
leqwas.biz
noosfo.biz
rsytarai.biz, another one

Multiple hosting:
201.195.156.13
lugers.biz
loreta.biz
tuker.info

Now, try searching the entire .biz space for "Bank Austria Creditanstalt". The good news is that even the average anti-phishing toolbar is capable of detecting these. The bad news is that customers aren't currently using such toolbars as much as they should. And with phishing toolkits lowering the entry barriers in this space by making it easy for wannabe phishers to "make an impact", we've got an efficient problem to deal with.

Google and Yahoo's Shareholders Against Censorship

Collective bargaining tends to achieve the necessary echo effect :

"The New York City Pension Fund wants shareholders to force Google and Yahoo to refuse Internet censorship requests by governments. The fund, which owns nearly $280 million worth of Google shares and $110 million in Yahoo shares, filed resolutions for shareholders at the two Internet companies to vote on at the next shareholder meetings. The resolution states that U.S.-based technology companies "that operate in countries controlled by authoritarian governments have an obligation to comply with the principles of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights."

Go, go, go, shareholders. So that by the time censorship ends up where it's most aggressive for the time being, we can feel proud of ourselves living in a World 2.0, a world in which we all have universal access to the collective wisdom of everyone. Wait, that used to be part of both, Google's and Yahoo's mission statements once. From another perspective, the companies themselves have their hands tied by the overal Western world's revenues generation greed, and outsourcing inspirations in China's booming economy. But pretending it isn't happening is like ignoring the existence of the thought police these days.
