Active Phishing Website Targeting German PayPal Users - Part 1
TOKYO (MacHouse) - Criminals never quit. We reported an active PayPal phishing website about just 10 days ago. And we’ve found a new one. This PayPal phishing website is apparently targeting German users.

An organized cyber scum group circulated at least two copies of an identical spam message more than 10 hours ago. The subject line of the message is Bitte antworten Sie bis spatestens 9.12.2008 hinsichtlich Fall Nr. PP-720-135-625. It says something like “Please answer to spatestens 9.12.2008 regarding case No. PP-720-135-625.” (See Screenshot 01.) The entire message is written in German, which we can’t read. There are several URLs pasted in the message. The underlying link behind one of the URLs is http://webgameinfo.se//Privatkunden-passw0rt/index.htm. Clicking on the link, you will be redirected to a PayPal phishing website hosted at the domain of backlink-superchargers.com. More specifically, a phishing website is installed inside popin-video > .online-id. (See Screenshot 02-3.)
Our preliminary analysis shows that the spam message originates from a web server in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. We don’t know if this is the true origin. Anyway, it seems that the spam message was then passed to a web server of Vail Mountain School (vms.edu), a school located in Vail, Colorado, USA.
We will have a more detailed report in several hours.

MacHouse is not funded by tax payers' money. We have limited resources. We also need time to sleep and eat just as others. So we will not act as the International police to contact all victims of website abuse. All you have to do is to subscribe to spam messages and spam posts. If we can, why don't you?

Hey. We got this “payPal” fishing stuff too. we are a german company so i can translate the mail for you:
the subject “Bitte antworten Sie bis spatestens 9.12.2008 hinsichtlich Fall Nr. PP-720-135-625″ means:
“Please answer by 9th december 2008 regarding Case No. PP-720-135-625″

That would be very nice of you. Thanks for your offer. But that’s not necessary.
