Phishing Techniques

Additional aproaches

They register similar sounding DNS domains and setting up fake web sites,
e.g. www.paypa1.com
      www.connbank.com.au
(also see www.combank.com.au)

They configure the fake phishing web site to

• record any input data that the user submits
• silently log them and then
• forward the user to the real web site

They attempt to exploit weaknesses in the user's web browser to mask the true nature of the message content
