    Getting Revenge on Ebay Phishers

    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.
    I like pie.

        Pretty nice approach. Flood there database with bullshit account info. Chances are they will just code a program to test all the accounts and sift out the bad ones.

              I figured they would but if they have to try a couple hundred thousand logins, it wouldn't be worth the effort. If everyone could do something like this to these knuckleheads we'd surely run them out of business.

              When my script started to time out on every attempt I checked their site and it was down. The script had submitted 177K+ logins.

                177k Holy shit. Some scum bag is going to very excited when he/her checks the phish database. Then several minutes later VERY dissapointed.

                      I actually haven't been getting many of those ones anymore. Although I have been getting hit by the "Suntrust Internet Banking" emails. It's like WTF, how many people have accounts there where they'd send them out to everyone. If I were them, I'd go for the Ebay or Pay Pal mails.

                              Heh, I don't think you understand. It's not really Bank of America sending those emails. It's some shithead trying to steal logins from bank of america customers. Attacking the "hacker" wouldn't cause any harm to bank of america.

                                    You should give the script to a couple of people so they have to deal with millions of BS logins
