On Friday we ran an article on a phony anti-phishing site which asked users to enter credit card numbers, only to scorn them for handing over sensitive data and provide links to anti-phishing resources. The site shows how social engineering need not be smart to still be effective.
While the page links to the Anti-Phishing Working Group's guidelines on avoiding phishing scams, the site is not run or condoned by the APWG, as was originally reported.
