Fake Friendster Phishing Website – What the Hell is the Point?

Phishing is defined as an attempt to criminally and fraudulently acquire sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords and credit card details, by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. In other words, they use these sites to hack your username and passwords.

Common targets of phishing include online banking, PayPal and eBay accounts. But just recently there is new phishing activities going on at Friendster.

A friend recently sent me a message entitled Friendster Account Checker: MUST READ!! which contains:

JUST CLICK AND RE-LOGIN

This message is being circulated by the administrator of friendster to check who are active and who are not. Just click on the link provided below and this message will automatically be forwarded to all your friends. Failure to comply will mean deletion of account.

Just Click and re-login:

I checked out the link provided and it was indeed a fake friendster website used to hack accounts. Although at first glance, you can’t tell it apart except for the big blogger tab on top of the page.

Fake friendster site used to hack accounts:

Here is what the REAL friendster site looks like:

Great phishing scam. But what’s the point? It’s not like they’re hacking a bank account? I don’t understand what interest do they have in my friendster account. Wierd!

Anyway, please be careful with your usernames and passwords. Double check the URL of the site whenever you are logging in.

Any ideas why they need my useless friendster account?
