Careless phisher

[0098386]

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

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).

Screw it, go to the CIA. They'll stick their nose in anyway regardless of any jurisdiction

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.

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.

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).

The plot thickens!

His site is back up, minus the phishing pages
