Bank of Ireland Phishing Emails
I got my first Bank of Ireland phishing email last week, and I have got about three per day since! A typical one looks like this:
Subject: 365 Banking: You are required to confirm your email address
Date: Sun, 04 Oct 2009 20:50:23 +0200
From: Bank of Ireland <accounts@boi.ie>
To: xxx@xxx.xxxhttp://www.sp-ad.com/.www.365online.ie/
The url looks really convincing, and I found it quite difficult to explain how to extract the domain name to some non-technical friends.
The page looks really convincing also! I did not visit it myself, but I used an online service to capture a screenshot of it:
