[GTALUG] Phishing is no mirage...

[Christopher Browne]

This morning, I received a realistic looking message appearing to be from
our hosting provider (linode) which was trying to convince me to send out
my credit card information.
Titled... "Linode Support Ticket 13142320 - Other - Account Limit reached.
Please open a support ticket."

This may even be more of a "spear phishing" thing as it it was broadly
personalized to me, as I help manage the GTALUG account at linode.

Something was looking suspicious about the URL...
http://login.linode.com.login.return.to.https.21354545.paulinasfriends.com

When confronted by a difficult problem, solve it by reducing it to the
question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?"
