Egold phishing warning

August 17, 2006

The scammer behind this new egold phishing site is clever. The log in URL http://www.e-gold.com-log.in/acct/login.html looks exactly with that of egold https://www.e-gold.com/acct/login.html.

The former which has been circulated to various egold account holders in the form of a notification update is basically a country specific domain www.com-log.in (India) with a subdomain http://www.e-gold.com-log.in/acct/login.html . Per its WHOIS details www.com-log.in was just registered last August 13, 2006 . It has more details which can provide lead to the person behind this phishing site.

The lesson here is you must examine carefully the URL you visit before you divulge your username and password.
