Subject: Phishing Translators please?
Morning folks,
I have written a Phishing fraud detector. It's not 100% perfect, but it
should detect most of them. We are finding here that the SURBL phishing
lists are far from complete, and we regularly get these coming through
to
our end-users.
For those of you who don't know what phishing is....
You get an email claiming to be from your bank / credit card company /
utility company / whatever. It looks like a perfectly genuine email, it
has
their artwork, disclaimers, everything. There is some text in the
message
inviting you to click on a link in the message. The link looks quite
normal, e.g. http://www.citibank.com/ or just www.citibank.com. They
usually look like they want you to confirm security information, or
re-register your account. But when you click on the link it doesn't take
you to the bank's real website, it takes you to a plausible-sounding one
that looks just like your bank's real website, but isn't. You type in
confidential information of some sort, and the bad guys just managed to
steal your information. Now they can steal your money and/or identity.
MailScanner detects these and inserts some text into the message to
highlight the possible fraud, and where it is coming from in reality.
Please could all you translators out there please translate the
following
text into the language(s) of your choice? Please don't contribute
translations you aren't 100% sure about, I have no way of telling whose
translation into Spanish is the best, so probably best to post your
translations to the list so we can agree on the best ones.
# Used in Phishing Fraud attack detections. The "End" must close all the
# HTML highlighting done in the "Start".
PossibleFraudStart = <font color="red"><b>MailScanner has detected a
possible fraud attempt from
PossibleFraudEnd = </b></font>
Thanks all!
