[HIB]Automated cloud-based phishing kit revealed

[newsbot]

Data security specialist Imperva claims to have uncovered a new type of automated phishing kit that uses cloud computing technology to maximise its efficiency – as well as rip off third-party hackers. According to Amichai Shulman, CTO for Imperva, two master hackers wrote and then posted a phishing kit onto the hacker forums. Then, when other hackers download the kit and deploy a successful phishing campaign, all the stolen credentials and information goes straight back to the master hacker without the proxy hacker's knowledge. It's very clever and proves there is no honour amongst thieves, as the master hacker never needs to conduct a campaign to see a financial gain, he said in his weekend security blog.
