Google sends me a text with a code everytime I log on. Does the code save me from evil phishing people?

Fairly sure most people on this forum would. Nothing new about this "attack", just another guy phishing for retards.

If its anything that seems remotely malicious, I'll open it up in a Virtual machine, or inside a seperate browser with no info stored in it, just to check.

Or just ignore the link and navigate to the page it says manually via normal login.

 

Most of the time its pretty obvious what is malicious and what isn't anyways.

If it starts with "Dear Customer" not "Dear YOURNAMEHERE" then its usually spam, as most sites include your name as an extra step to show they know its you.

Well I guess anyone could make a mistake and not look at the URL or even glance at it. I generally only stick with my bookmarks anyway so it's hard to fall to phishing attacks when you don't visit new websites all the time. Also Adblock helps getting rid of dodgy adverts.

These phishing attacks are looking more and more realistic its only a matter of time before it starts to fool the techheads as well.

I never even read those verification e-mails. Because if there really is a need for verification Google will bug me when I log in normally anyway.

I have been getting all kinz of fake links, but i'm smart enough to check the link address first, and i hope the members of this forum are too. This is not new at all.

Thanks but I would probably have spotted the url not being HTTPS if something similar had happen to me :)

My mum has been getting things like that but for PayPal... luckily she asked me what to do before hand and I saw that the email that the message was sent from was from a Hotmail not PayPal. Make sure you check where the link will take you and if the email looks out of place. Stay safe!

2-step verification and login alerts are a cool thing that people forget about.

Also if you scroll to the bottom of your gmail account, you can see account activity from logins and login attempts so you know if you really need to change your password.

I haven't actually received this email, but when I saw the video I couldn't help but do some of my own investimigating. (totally a word)

 

So basically, I took the IP in the video, plopped it into DNS resolver (I use zenmap) to get the Domain attached to that IP as possibly being "webrem.servers.eqx.misp.co.uk", then doing a whois of that domains tells me the nameservers are "2host.co.uk".

So I sent them an email, they're a UK company so we probably won't get a reply for another 10 hours or so but I thought I'd send them one just in case it is on their servers, probably unlikely but whatever. :P

 

Thought you guys would be interested anyway, cheers.
