Are you trying to find out about a particular phishing site, or just a list of sites to avoid in general? What's the site? If they're clever enough about it, it could be almost impossible to find the real people behind a fishing web site. People can register by proxy<https://www.domainsbyproxy.com/popup/whoisexample.aspx?ci=5165&prog_id=452044>, which means that the registered owner of the domain might have nothing to do with the actual owner. Then, the real owner of a domain might have nothing to do with the content of the site. If the phishing domain name is very similar to a legitimate company's domain name, then it's pretty clear that the intention is to deceive the users of the legitimate domain, but I don't think that there's any easy way to prove that in a legal sense or make it a crime in itself. Personally, I'd love to be part of a team whose job it is to track these people down and beat them within an inch of their lives, but then I supposed I would be considered a criminal. -- Ghodmode http://www.ghodmode.com/blog -- To unsubscribe from and detail about this group http://portal.mosc.my/osdc-my-mailing-list-information MOSC2011 http://fb.me/mosc2011 and http://portal.mosc.my/
