Maybank Online Alert - A Phishing Scam

Receiving phishing emails is not new to me. In fact, I blogged before about how email users can identify phishing emails. Just three days ago, I received again an email which I thought trying to extract some sensitive information.
It was said to be an Online Alert from Maybank, the largest financial services group in Malaysia listed on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange. Just check the screenshot below to see how the email looks like.


The signature below the message used the name Maybank Berhad, with a website address http://www.maybank2u.com.my
I checked the website by typing manually the URL on my browser's address bar, and I was diverted to the legitimate website of Maybank. However, when I hovered the cursor over http://www.maybank2u.com.my- there I was able to check that the Maybank website was only used as an anchor text of the real site which I was about to be diverted once I clicked the link. Clicking http://www.maybank2u.com.my on the email will divert you directly to http://mail.rohnnet.com/ ... This prompted me to conduct a WHOIS search so I can track this phising email.

The email sender used at Thu, 26 Nov 2009 00:49:46 +0100 the IP address: 85.114.46.90 from Croatia, Vukovar. Take a look on these details:

A question normally asked by most users who rely much on serial cracks and software hacks, particularly if they can't afford spending dollars for a genuine copy of Windows 7.

Facebook Disabled Plurk and Twitter URL Hyperlink

Do you have a Facebook account? Did you notice something new on Facebook wall? I am going to make a quick post about what I've observed on Facebook this morning. I assume most bloggers have also noticed this change.

If you are going to check your Facebook wall, you will see that URL’s are no longer hyperlinked. Most of the time when I have something to rant, I used Plurk. My plurk account was integrated to my Facebook, Friendster, and Twitter accounts- so whenever I “plurk” something, it will automatically be published on those networking sites.

However, Facebook seems to have disabled hyperlinked texts on the user’s wall. I visited my Facebook friends’ individual profile and noticed the same. How about yours? Did you observe the same on your Facebook wall? Or I just need to set something on my Facebook settings? If you have any idea, I appreciate if you will leave a comment on this post.
