Why Cant All Phishing Scams Be This good ?

Posted by pramatr on December 3rd, 2009

Graham Cluley reported on this phishing email today:

yahoo-webmaster

It’s an attempt to source account information from the recipient. Fortunately as Graham points out it’s not the most professional of executions:

1. You would have to not question why the Yahoo Webmaster Team is emailing you.. especially as it wasn’t sent to a Yahoo email address.

2. You would have to overlook that the bad guys didn’t even bother to forge the message to look as though it came from a Yahoo domain

If hackers were as good as this individual we wouldn’t have to worry about identity theft.
