Phishers now attacking feisty victims with malware too
A security researcher recently reported that phishing sites hosted on a
particular botnet have begun retaliating against visitors that submit
bogus information containing vulgarities or the word "phish". Visitors
that submit the phishing form with such feisty language are immediately
bombarded with attempts to infect their machines with malware to make
them part of the botnet. Interestingly, visitors that submit
apparently real information are left alone, as are those that do not
submit the form at all.
