A Dispatch
April 24, 2005
Are There Any Humans Out There?By "out there," I mean in the domain registration and Web hosting worlds. I continue to find it incredible that a crook could not only register a dot-com domain name that includes the words "verify," "paypal," and "account," but that a brand-name Web hosting service would blindly grant hosting space to such a domain.
Sure enough, the interior link in one of this morning's PayPal phish messages points to such a domain (the visible link displays the real PayPal URL, as expected). The domain was registered yesterday. It's hosted at yahoo today. Peoples' lives will be ruined tomorrow. Incredible.
