Another Phish Tale
(Picture credit http://www.samsung.com)
I received another phishing email that purports to be from PayPal. Let's just make the blanket statement that you should spam filter anything that even mentions PayPal. Anyhow, the source of the message reads, in part:| Please follow the link below and login to your account<br> and renew your account information<p><b> <a target="_blank" href="http://211.189.88.200/~wcconst/www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr=cmdxpt/cps/ clickthru2/Billing-Verification=CookieId=4801de10f2194572779a171135820269/" >https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-run</a></b></p> <p>Sincerely,<br> Paypal customer department!</td> |
A tracert of 211.189.88.200 yields:

Hmmm... the user7 portion makes it almost appear that the next-to-last link in the chain is a typical workstation inside Samsung. Probably not the case, but interesting...
