Phishing fraudsters aim to outpace site shutdowns
An interesting article from The register about the new technique developed by cybercrooks that uses smart redirection attacks.
From the article:
Smart redirection attacks involve creating a number of similar phishing websites based at different locations. Bogus emails that form the basis of phishing attacks contain URLs that direct the victim to a single IP address, which hosts the so-called ’smart redirector’. When the potential victim clicks on the link, the redirector checks all related phishing websites, identifying which sites are still live before redirecting the user to one of them.
