Hi, It wouldn't be hard to hit these guys with a million bogus logins over a few days with a little script and a 10Mbit connection. Any sponsors? :) Erin Salmon Managing Director Unleash Computers Ltd Mobile: 021 877 913 Landline: 03 365 1273 www.unleash.co.nz -----Original Message----- From: Perry Lorier [mailto:perry(a)coders.net] Sent: 30 September 2005 9:11 a.m. Cc: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Subject: Re: [nznog] Bankdirect phish Webmaster wrote:
It has just occured to me that a good way to 'deal' with phishing sites prior to them being shut down might be to have a script that submits random usernames and passwords. Thousands of them.
It would certainly make it much harder for the phisher.
I do this (although not automated), I login a few times with random details, hopefully so when the phisher trys to use the usernames/passwords they end up triggering some alert at the bank. _______________________________________________ NZNOG mailing list NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog
