But below are 3 examples of phishing that made it through Yahoo filters today:<BR /><IMG height="396" hspace="0" src="http://www.knujon.com/images/yahoo_amazon1_090806.gif" width="699" vspace="0" border="1" /></IMG><//IMG><BR /><BR /><IMG height="432" hspace="0" src="http://www.knujon.com/images/yahoo_amazon2_090806.gif" width="753" vspace="0" border="1" /></IMG><//IMG><BR /><BR /><IMG height="422" hspace="0" src="http://www.knujon.com/images/yahoo_paypal1_090806.gif" width="727" vspace="0" border="1" /></IMG><//IMG><BR /><BR />All three are from the same group of spammers. The last one is the most interesting because of what was found at the linked site: pal.uk.com. The site launches a JavaScript page with fake Internet Explorer address and toolbars.<BR /><BR /><IMG height="465" hspace="0" src="http://www.knujon.com/images/pal.uk.com_fake1.gif" width="726" vspace="0" border="1" /></IMG><//IMG><BR /><BR /><B>Compare to:</B><BR /><BR /><IMG height="491" hspace="0" src="http://www.knujon.com/images/pal.uk.com_fake2.gif" width="628" vspace="0" border="1" /></IMG><//IMG><BR /><BR />See for yourself: http://www.pay.pal.uk.com/us/cgi-bin/new.php<BR /><BR />pal.uk.com is owned by "Erin Batchelder": stabbingwestward_fany@yahoo.com and redirects to okcomm.com which is owned by "kang re ho" at leokang1@paran.com.<BR /><BR />The point here is that even if yahoo blocked 100 other emails, the phishers only need 1 to get through. This is why <A href="http://www.knujon.com/contentblock.html">blocking alone will not work</A>. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.knujon.com/news.html"></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/5604D264-9AE6-40FA-9573-AB605792DEBE/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
