Humpty Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Quote: We've now seen several phishing web sites that are using flash-based content instead of normal HTML. Probably the main to reason to do this is to try to avoid phishing toolbars that analyze page content. Two recent examples, both targeting PayPal: www.ppal-form-ssl.com and www.welcome-ppl.com. These sites look like the real PayPal front page, but they are actually Flash recreations. F-Secure article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarq57 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 So, what's the answer? Would right clicking on parts of a page to check properties of same be adequate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humpty Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 FF users could try the flashblock addon? Flashblock May get in the way a bit like the Noscript extension but it seems ok here atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
