Phishing Example 64: Validate Now (also "Validate", "I T Service")

Received September 2014

   To:
   Dear umn user,
   validate umn.edu <hxxp://some-home-domain.NOT.UMN.EDU/validate.umn.edu/>


Things to note:

  • Sign in page resembles, but not identical to login page
  • Top bar links and search bar are IMAGES, not active
  • Not hosted at UMN.EDU - tricky use of "validate.umn.edu" as the end of the URL, but domain is actually at a ".cc" home.
