I agree with Matt's analysis, the payload link is the one that points to
cgi5-update[dot]com, and that text could be banned with a JunkMail Pro text
filter.

The IP address embedded in the long "verification" HREF is a tracking bug.
By viewing the message in HTML, the webserver at that IP is logging that
someone viewed it.  Maybe there is useful data in the URL to him, maybe not.
The server, www.aquirerealty[dot]com may be an insecure host, and not the
phisher himeself.

Another interesting link is the one at the bottom with the counter
statistics.  There is a geo.yahoo.com tracking bug, which may be a red
herring, or may really be tracking statistics for the phisher.  The source
of the http://domainpending[dot]com/js_source/geov2.js however is heavily
blacklisted and SPEWS fingers the server as being associated with "Richard
Girard / mtlmarketing[dot]com"

YMMV... Andrew 8)

Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] This one eBay fraud.. came right through..


Kami,

Your Body URL filter caught "/pics/" in this message (just once 
though).  Even though that didn't cause it to fail, a site that includes 
this in each of their links could easily go over the delete weight on 
your system as it stands right now without a MAXSCORE feature.  Just a 
heads up as this seems to be a common directory name.

There seems to be some code in there to help it get some credit.  The 
offending URL of course is:

    cgi5-update[dot]com

Looked it up and also found he has cgi4-update[dot]com freshly 
registered through a different registrar than that, but both are less 
than 3 days old.  I'd say block the URL's, but how long do these things 
live?

Suggestion...put Ebay in your SPAMDOMAINS file.  Same goes for PayPal 
and every other source that might be the target of such fraud or a virus 
spoof such as Norton, McAfee and Microsoft.  I don't have all the REVDNS 
info, but I'll bet you can find at least some of their mail servers by 
searching SenderBase and doing some MX lookups.  This would be a good 
thing to share, and you could put it in  separate file and score it 
higher since most of us don't have people sending us greeting cards and 
the like using addresses from these corporate domains.  ISP's should be 
scored lower due to such problems.

There was also an IP in there with a reverse DNS that points to 
www.aquirerealty.com which was registered only a month ago from yet 
another registrar.:

I'm guessing that this is fake info, although they have an account with 
Verio, so there is some financial trail there if anyone wants to try and 
jail the punk.
