I was e-mailed a couple of days ago by Barclays Bank. Yes it was another phishing attempt. But this time it was rather amateur. According to the e-mail headers, sent from nikeairmaxonline.com.

Sure, the displayed link to the phishing site was a valid Barclays Bank address, but the actual destination was to a domain named www.barclays-online-system.co.uk

Nominet showed that this domain was registered to someone in Cheltenham on 24 April, registered through Claranet. I wondered how long it would be before the site was pulled.

It’s now been pulled, but today I get another e-mail. This time however the link is to a page given by IP address belonging to a site for toosexyjeans.com. The page itself doesn’t even exist.

Update 29 April Here we go again. Now using www.lloydstsb-system-online.com as a domain, which doesn’t exist.
