Default Phishing Attack Google

Websense® Security Labs™ has received reports of a new phishing attack that targets users of Google's search engine. Users are redirected to a spoofed copy of Google's front page with a large message claiming "You WON $400.00 !!!". Users are presented with instructions for collecting their prize money. These instructions direct users to enter their credit card number and shipping address. Once the information has been collected, users are directed to Google's legitimate website.

That sucks. Thanks for that darrell!

I have a friend who had some software on his computer that when he visited ANY website, it would load some other website resulting in not being able to visit the real website. You have to be really careful of that.

I hate people who do that... I'm glad I know how to avoid things like that...
