Question for the technical types on the list -- Since most / all phishes pull graphics from deep links in the site they are spoofing .. and since apache (and I think IIS too?) can prevent easily so called 'deep-linking' from their site, or ACL at the gateway only approved server ip to link to their image stores... Why do the major financial institutions and other companies falling prey to phishing simply not allow deep-linking of their images and pages? Would this not solve a majority of phish mails, at least require the bad guys to build a whole page by hand themselves, rather than pull handy graphics from the spoofed site.. ? +------------------------- + Dave Dennis + Seattle, WA + Speakeasy, Inc. + dmd () speakeasy net + http://www.speakeasy.net +------------------------- _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
