    This is where the story gets interesting, in a diabolical sort of way.

    Of course, we have the ever-present 'hacker contingent' chiming in within the thread...gonna use all those neat pen-test toolz and skillz we've acquired to run down the perps!

    However...we're forgetting the fact that running such "exercises" against online resources when you don't have prior (written) authorization from the owners of such will possibly put you in as much legal hot water as the scammers themselves eventually may face.

    That's Karn Evil 9, First Impression, Part 2. Emerson Lake & Palmer, Brain Salad Surgery, Side 2. One of my favorite albums of all time.

    I know it well. Back when I was a radio DJ in college, that was my theme song. Oh, those were the days, my friends, I thought they'd never end...

    Well, on the one hand, they laid out the case for the phishing scheme fairly well.

    On the other hand, by publicly revealing as much detail as they did, they may have scared off the miscreant. For a few weeks at least.

    I'm not so sure. Someone may take it as a challenge. Someone smarter than the people over there, anyway. I'll get my dog right on it.

    "That's Karn Evil 9, First Impression, Part 2."

    Actually the first 3 lines are from part 1, the next 4 from part 2. It describes the typical Zed antics pretty well. (;->)

    Yeah, always hackers firkin around with the resident crackers, whackers and fudge packers. DILLIGAF
    I don't care what you say - we never played by the same rules anyway.
    I won't be there anymore
    Get out of my way - let me by
    I got better things to do with my time
    I don't care anymore
    I don't care anymore

    The first three lines are from part 1, the next four are from part 2. ELP was great but overproduced, too much echo and it's at its worst on Jerusalem making it difficult to understand. If I were to have a theme song it would be Zappa, I Am The Slime. (;->)

    Yeah, always hackers on teh zed but mostly crackers, whackers and fudge packers.
