Anti-Spam Group Accuses Yahoo of Hosting 1000s of Phishing Sites

http://www.silicon.com/research/specialr...006,00.htm

Quote:Yahoo! is hosting thousands of fraudulent websites that have domain names containing the words "bank", "PayPal" or "eBay", according....anti-spam group Spamhaus.

The group claims Yahoo is hosting over 5,000 sites whose domain names contain the words: bank, PayPal, and eBay.

"Well, Jay was so giddy that someone named Jay was involved with this site we posted our first non-eBay listing in 3 years here at Lunarbid (we tried two items at Yahoo once upon a time, they bombed)" -Marie posting in a LunarBid thread at OTWA in 2005 wins the award for 'most moronic reason ever given for choosing a venue"

"thanks twat u must have nothing better 2 do. do u talk to all your members like that. will not be recomending your site.
best way to put it is TULIPTOOLS.COM IS REALLY SHIT. DONT JOIN." -pubescent owner of rinky dink off2auction.com in 2011
