Gmail phishing attempt

the contextual search picks up on phishing here

URL that I'm hovering over for the update account link.

Fascinating new bogus email from the "Gmail Team" that links to a currently live app at secure.us-gmail.com/ designed to snarf up all your google login details.

Apart from the nswebhost.com thing, everything there looks pretty convincing to your average web user. Worrying.

*average web user*, I said. Most people don't pick up on spelling and grammar 'errors'.

Yeah, I was surprised that anyone was going for gmail logins (I guess all google's stuff is yours to control with that one login) and it did look pretty convincing, even the domain name.

Here's the source with all headers for this phishing email

It seems like Gmail's own filters should be really good at sniffing these out and killing them as spam before they ever make it to the user.

They may want to ask your friends to send money.

Looks like it's from Indonesia.

You know, I'm a pretty pacifistic sort of individual. That said, I have extreme urges towards violence toward these scumbags and lowlifes for screwing with my internet.

Especially all the "forgot your email" messages you've ever received, allowing login to other sites. Who knows, maybe one of them does something interesting... Amazon or such?
