After a lull in the number of phishing emails recently, today I received an email masquerading as being from Halifax. However, the link takes you to a hacked directory site – http://www.directorymember.us/include/formslogin.htm.
Email forwarded to: security@hbosplc.com at 16.07 (GMT +1) 29 Apr 2008.
For those wishing to see the email body for comparison to any messages you may have received, the content is below.
