Phishing does not mean hooking
VERY realistic looking site. I hit the 'view code' to see if they Kiddy-hacked the site and they certainly did. Just a copy and paste of the Pay Pal HTML.
Here's the email I just received back. I went back and kiddy hacked the server and it is some Italian site, the phisher is named Andrea.
