I have to admit that I am scared to buy anything in online stores and to use e-banking system after I heard about new phishing system that is so hard to detect. I heard that it can mirror banks web site and give you a feeling that nothing is wrong. I would like you to explain tom is this true. Until then I am not going to pay anything over the internet.

Hello. This new phishing system poses a real danger. It is exceptionally well designed and easy to use. It does not require any knowledge from the attacker which makes it even more dangerous. It mirrors web site of some legit company and when user interacts whit that site he interact with the real web site. Difference is that all requests are passing through some kind of proxy server that logs all data entered while user is interacting with his, lets say, bank. Many antiphisishing tools rely on user suspecting that something is wrong. With this you can not suspect anything because you are using real web site. This is why this tool is extremely dangerous.
