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. :glugglug

sounds like a bunch of free time, but go get em tiger :thumbsup

An idle mind is an evil mind. :1orglaugh

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.

Idle hands may be the devil's work
But idle minds, you see, are so much worse... (Type O Negative)



Beautiful!! Wanna do that with mine too??

Great idea nonetheless.
:thumbsup

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. :1orglaugh

177k Holy shit. Some scum bag is going to very excited when he/her checks the phish database. Then several minutes later VERY dissapointed. :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Very nice. You should pass around the code.

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.

You Evil Genius :winkwink:

awesome idea

well man the ebay thing is cool but i wouldnt recommend the Bank of America attack

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.

Wow! Pretty nice idea! :thumbsup

YOU GO BOY! :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

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

Love the revenge!

Kick ass, Keep up the good work....

ALL FUCKING SCAMMERS SHOULD DIE :mad:

same here, lol wtf.


cant believe they wouldnt do paypal or bank1 or bank of america or something

i get at least 10 of those bank things a day... all different banks.... would love to put those idiots out of biz

lol, i get the bank emails all the time. Ive never had a supposed email from a bank where i still/ever have an account, pretty stupid scheme.



wanna share the script?

AWESOME FUCKING IDEA

I'm totally down
