A quick game...

You are a customer of the 1st Fake Bank of Australia and you need to do some online banking.

Just by looking at these URL, which sites would you suggest are fake sites created by phishers who want to steal your details, and which are real.


1) http://www3.netbank.fakebank.com
2) http://www.fakebank.com
3) https://www.fakebank.com
4) http://0xca.0x74.0x44/www.fakebank.com
5) http://web-ao.da-uk.fakebank.com/
6) https://signup.fakebank.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?SignIn
7) http://www.fakebank.money.com/
8) http:/www.345.456.0x.fakebank.com/
9) https:///www3.money.fake-bank.com
10) http://fakebank.com


(here is a hint. Number 2 is a 'real' site)

Everything except #2, #3, and #10 would be the phishing sites. Presumably, accessing addresses #2 and #10 would redirect you to the secure (https) URL at #3.

You got six out of ten.

I guess Mary B is the winner! The other 100 or so readers must have chickened out!

AAAAARGH! Dagnabbit!

Thought I was so darned smart ... just got phished! Had to hurry and change my eBay password.

Guess I'm lucky I was awake enough to realize I'd tripped up ... it was pretty well disguised.

I sent them all $1000 who ever sends me an online statement isn't the fake...
