The good folks over at Net-Security.org have an interesting interview with Nitesh Dhanjani and Billy Rios. These two intrepid adventurers managed to ingratiate themselves into the phishing underground and in the process expose the goings on of this illicit economy.
From Net-Security:
Both Nitesh and Billy are well-known security researchers that have recently managed to infiltrate the phishing underground. What started as a simple examination of phishing sites, turned into an extraordinary view of the ecosystem that supports the phishing effort that plagues modern day financial institutions and their customers.
They saw an extraordinary amount of sensitive customer account information, obtained the latest phishing kits, located and examined the tools used by phishers, trolled sites buying and selling identities, and even social engineered a few scammers.
Read on for the full interview.
