malware-help0025-12-jan-08.jpg"A recurrent group of Moroccan fraudsters calling themselves Mr-Brain has launched a website dedicated to offering easy-to-use phishing site code, email templates and other hacking tools. The website offers phishing kits for many of the most common targets, such as Bank of America, eBay, PayPal and HSBC.

The tools and code provided by Mr-Brain are designed to make it extremely easy for other fraudsters to deploy realistic phishing sites. Only a very basic knowledge of programming is required to configure the PHP scripts to send victims’ details to the fraudsters’ chosen electronic mail address. Deploying one of these fully working kits can be done in as little as one minute – another factor that adds to their appeal." - Content courtesy of Netcraft: Mr-Brain: Stealing Phish from Fraudsters
