Phishing fraudsters get flashy
Fraudsters are starting to use Flash-based content instead of regular HTML on phishing websites.
The ruse, recently noted on PayPal-mimicking fraud sites www.ppal-form-ssl.com and www.welcome-ppl.com, is reckoned to be an attempt to fool basic anti-phishing defences (such as browser toolbars) that look at page content. The move represents the latest salvo in the ongoing war between phishing fraudsters and security defenders.
