Phishers using Google Redirects

[Brett_Tabke]

I have been getting a lot of phishing emails lately. banks, credit cards, amazon, ebay...you name it and I have seen it.

I have noticed that many of the recent ones are using the google redirect as the root of their url.

OK, I'm an idiot, but what's a "Google redirect".

Isn't it spelled "phishing?

Yes Kaled, it's phishing, look at Brett's writing...

No increase of those for me. Lots of testers coming in though to more typical addresses to see if they don't bounce back,

webmaster @ site
info @ site
seo @ site
sales @ site

And when they don't bounce back, you've sunk my battleship and bring on the spam!

I get a ton of junk from info@<randomletters>.com and send all of that straight to the black hole.
