Ever get those annoying emails wanting you to log in to your ebay account for a variety of reasons? The link looks legit at first glance but the link clearly doesn't go to ebay. Their intention is to snag your login information.
I have been getting a few of those emails a day for months and I finally had enough of it. I opened up my perl editor and went to work. After about 20 minutes I had created a script that would generate legit looking usernames and passwords and would submit those to the phishers script at a given intervals. Better yet the script uses a list of proxy servers
They were basically being flooded with data that they couldn't identify the source of and couldn't determine if it was legit data or not which basically puts their scheme out of business. Next time I get a Bank of America phishing email, their ass is mine.
