I recently blogged about receiving a phishing URL via IM. The common phishing vector is the use of emails with the most notorious of all being the "Nigerian scam". Phishing emails are so common that I usually just mark them as "spam" (if they were not already filtered by my spam filter) and forget about them. What intrigued me about this specific one was that it was sent to an Information Security mailing list I subscribe to... which Security professional is going to take the bait? There's even a typo in it. Haha.
