Permanent TSB Phishing scam.

    Just a heads up, the following site which was registered today is being used to phish TSB account details.

    http://www.update-open24.org

    Just by the other domains registered to the server, I'd say it's being used for an awful amount of dodgy activity. Make sure to stay well clear of the above site, or your details will be stolen.

    Might be interesting to take a snoop around on their site.

    Firefox blocks it now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,759 ✭✭✭✭dlofnep


    Google Chrome too. Thanks :)

    Wheheh

    Edit: that log contained a link to possible real accounts, although most look fake.

    First IP's to open the accounts file are probably the owners. I should really report the access.log and accounts file to garda.

    Send PM :)

    This server has HEAPS of scam-websites. Is there anything we could do to report by ip address rather than a domain?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,267 ✭✭✭h57xiucj2z946q


    They got some peoples details, im gonna pass these onto TSB and Garda.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,759 ✭✭✭✭dlofnep


    Good man. Did you get it through SQLi? I was going to have a poke myself but too busy today.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,267 ✭✭✭h57xiucj2z946q


    Nope I will explain soon, they are pretty silly to be honest.

    Their site is 503 now anyway. Also you can get the IP of the person reading the accounts file over and over!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,267 ✭✭✭h57xiucj2z946q


    I sent off the logs to the garda and tsb, just waiting for a reply now.

    Good Man Damo, Seriously good job there:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,267 ✭✭✭h57xiucj2z946q


    There was about 25 accounts logged, only about 10 of them were legit data, the rest were swear words about people who realised it was a scam.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,759 ✭✭✭✭dlofnep


    Damo the hero!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,267 ✭✭✭h57xiucj2z946q


    Should I email everyone who had data stole, or leave it up to the guardi/tsb now?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,759 ✭✭✭✭dlofnep

    Sent out a friendly e-mail, just incase. It was one of my friends who was conned that highlighted the site to me. Tell them to contact their local bank, and that they might possibly have to cancel their card.

    If it was me i'd appreciate an email, just make sure they don't think it was you that set up the site.

    Sent of a mail, one bounced back. That site seems to be flushed from DNS tables now.

    Was hosted on a Yahoo server in California. Bank detail log files were been accessed from IP in Scottsdale, AZ, an online store (possibly also compromised)

    Speaking of Scottsdale, I spent a day in Old Town, Scottsdale, AZ in March. Pretty nice place.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,267 ✭✭✭h57xiucj2z946q


    No email reply from anyone yet.

    They had a lot of the OS directories sym-linked in their web root for some reason, most apache user didn't have permission to read, however /logs and /tmp were viewable.

    Their apache access.log was in /logs. This log file gave away the location of the files they were storing peoples data in as they kept accessing them over and over again and you could see their GET requests (and IP :D). These files were also accessible over www.

    just to add to this, I got a text message today from "open24" saying my account has been suspended and to log onto "www.open24-update.org"
    have notified the tsb but these guys are getting more up to date very quickly.
    Also How did they get my number? and know I was a tsb customer??:confused:

    They reversed the domain, last time it was

    "www.update-open24.org"

    Exact same dumb websign before I see! Logs and everything publically viewable.

    Good man Damo :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,759 ✭✭✭✭dlofnep


    Looks like the site is taken down.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,486 ✭✭✭Redshift

    http://www.aib-personal.org

    Edit, Sent Logs and Data file to Gardai and AIB - hope they look at their email, as before lots of duds and bad language but some of it looks real :0/


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,759 ✭✭✭✭dlofnep

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10 motorbikemania

    Filled that in with all false info. They couldn't even be bothered putting a correct redirect on at the end.

    Good work Damo and Redshift on the previous scams.

    I would just like to know how are you sending the info to the Gardaí for future reference?

    By e-mail, or over the phone or both?

    And how responsive do you find them?

    Thanks.
