Careless phisher

[raggedjimmi]

I got one of them phising emails this morning, only thing is this guy is a little careless.

The phising site (designed to replicate Sainsbury's Bank) was on a guys personal site, going to the root address and he's got a blog up about his time in the army and links to his Myspace page! I did a whois and found his personal address, phone number, host provider etc.

what should I do here? I've already contacted the host provider and reported the site as ¨abusive/spam¨.

Is there a site to report this to? I don't really know what to do in this situation :o

Is this something that can be reported to some central government aspect of your police? In the US, I think the FBI would deal with things like this (i.e. through this (http://www.ic3.gov/)).

In the US, I think the FBI would deal with things like this....Screw it, go to the CIA. They'll stick their nose in anyway regardless of any jurisdiction :p

The phisher guy is based in Washington if that helps.

Haha, it's all fun and games until you get deported to an Egyptian interrogation agency. :D

But seriously, look at the link. I don't mean that you should call an FBI field office and ask to speak to an agent. But the FBI is the right aspect of the government here.

EDIT: If the phisher is based in the US, report him with the link above.

Ruddy nora that was quick! The hosting folks have suspended his account.

Somewhere a 15 year old with the last name Parcells just pissed in his pants cause he got his dad's domain suspended for phishing.

I hate it when phishers clog up the internet and prevent it from being used appropriately (i.e. for the dissemination of porn). :mad:

[raggedjimmi]

The plot thickens!
