A script that is supposed to detect a phishing attempt is the actual
topic of this discussion. You come in here telling everyone they're
doing everything wrong, and you don't even know what's being
discussed? What?

You lack reading comprehension. There is no need for a phisher to tamper
with the original content as long as that original content doesn't
interfere with the phishing attempt. Once that premise changes, it is
unreasonable to assume that phishers *still* won't tamper with the
orignial site's content. Isn't that obvious?
