I felt that many people are unware about the phishing websites, and did not know how to identify a secure site. So thought to throw the question to you people. Just a clue, a life of a fake phishing website is just 6 hours, does any body knew how it works, within such a short span?

I wanted all to participate in dicussion regarding phishing, hopefully, I think our experts here in this forum will explain us better. If not, I will post the reply Smile I wish I wont have a job to post the answer,as I know you will give the answer....

I don't have a lot of time to explain right now, but I do have two words: fast-flux. That is the answer to why phishing sites are hard to take down and always changing.
