Google phishing…
March 22, 2006
Well it isn’t the Google phish I predicted, but I am seeing a lot of phishers use Google to perform redirects these days. I think the idea is to try and elude detection by content filters that aren’t smart enough to check for redirects in the URLs. Sure, we know that eventually the browser will issue a GET for the actual URL and a web filter could stop it, but isn’t it better if an email filter knows better than to get lulled into a false sense of security upon initially seeing the almighty Google domain.
