Got another PayPay phishing email today, my filters caught it no problem, so now let’s pollute their database of username and passwords. Here’s the direct link to the
Phishfighting page that will flood the phisher’s site with bogus usernames and passwords. If you’re using Firefox I recommend center clicking on the link 5 times (or more) and leave those tabs open for a day (or more). Have fun.

UPDATE: yep, after leaving it there all day while I was out I return to see the link throwing a 503 – server unavailable. Sweet. Don’t let that stop you, there are plenty more: here’s a fake eBay one, and a fake PayPay one. Also, I’m flattered that PhishFighting has a quote of mine “After a good defense we need a good offense – fak3r.com” in the left column on the front page.

But of course, those sites only stay for awhile. The idea of blasting them with 'fak3' data is to 1) polute their Database with bogus data, and 2) send continuous traffic to their site so that (hopefully) an attentive administrator will figure out that his box is hack3d and take action. My mailserver catches all this junk, but I have it save the Phishing emails so I can see what new ones have come up. They're almost all the same, or at least there are only a few different ones. Looking at my Phishing folder today I have these 2, go ahead and click away: Chase Online Phish PayPal Phish

Both the the above eBay links now show a 404 Error!

Thanks for sharing, please continue! One of my new links went dead too, so now I have one of my old eBay ones, along with your eBay one going now - both around 100 entries per. I'll open some more tabs and leave it running overnight. For those who want to join in the fun, clicky clicky on the following links:LINK 1 - eBay "Please Enter Credit of Debit Card on File to Confirm Your Identity"LINK 2 - eBay "eBay members, sign in to save time for bidding, selling, and other activities"
