[ale] OT: online banking hack

[Jim Philips]

Today I got an e-mail from Bank of America requesting that I go to their 
server and log on to online banking. The e-mail provided a link I could use 
for calling up the logon page. The problem is that I don't have an account 
with Bank of America. The link showed up in the e-mail as https, but when you 
click on it, you get an http page with only an IP address. This is a naked 
attempt to fool people into giving up their logins and passwords for online 
banking. I called Bank of America and forwarded the e-mail (which was caught 
and flagged by Spamassassin). Apparently, a whole batch of these went out 
today about 1 o'clock.
