I strongly agree that no one should visit these sites unless they know what they're doing (and running in a vmware, etc.).

On to my point: Putting in swearwords is stupid. If you are going to try and piss off phishers, but in semi-legitimate information so that they have to spend the time finding out which cards are real or not. The best thing I have done is had a card canceled for fraud (alerts will sound if this card is used) and plugged that into phishing scammers pages. This way, they may actually get caught... -JP > > > > Alex Eckelberry > _______________________________________________ > Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. > https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec > Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list. > _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
