Evening, Anyone from slingshot on here and can confirm this is a phishing site or some strange 3rd party site that slingshot is using? Never seen phishers target ISP accounts before? I have an italk account with slingshot, so this makes me wonder if perhaps a database has been compromised containing email accounts, or if someone is just targeting any & every .nz email address; has anyone else without a slingshot acc seen this? See attached. Barry

This has been going on for months, if not years. If you check most ISP Network Status pages (including Slingshot's) you'll usually see some kind of warning, I know Actrix, Orcon, XNet, Paradise, Clear have all been targeted in months gone by. --M

To add to this, BNZ sent out a business survey which used some off-shore company and it seemed like the dodgest phish out (mis-shaped logos, badly laid out) I had to triple check it, and make sure the "verification" from their system to say it was real before continuing with it. Sort of hard to educate users when even an authentic system can be so doubted. - Drew
