How do they steal your Maybank account password?

Thanks for my friend Jay Carmen, she forwarded to this message (see below) to me. Thanks also goes for the person who filed this useful information! For all, don't easily believe those solicited emails to leak your confidential finance information. Damn phishing!

Hey guys …

I got something to share …. Alrite. ..

I got this mail this morning in my Yahoo mailbox, titled “Please verify”. [I have attached it, scroll all the way down to see it.]

In it there’s a URL link to


If you click on that, it will bring you to a fake Maybank2U web page. See screen shot below:

If you key in your username and password in there, then they(the internet criminals) will have your username and password. And they will be able to withdraw your $$, yup there’s a second layer security called TAC no. for maybank2u users, but it can still be vulnerable to fraud if they already got your username/password..

The bottom line is, if you see such emails asking you to verify your account, just delete them. Banks never do online verification that way. This is not new; it is called the “phishing technique”.

If you are interested to know more about the phishing technique … read this: http://www.honeynet.org/papers/phishing/ Be smart, stay smart … keep your $$ away from internet criminals.. cheers, Dan
