Wow...this is bad with a capital B. See link for screenshot.

Poor security practices lead financial services company to host a phishing site: "

From the Great Irony department. A financial services company, E3financial, is hosting a phishing site. As of this afternoon, Paul Laudanski at CastleCops “Spoke with Anna and was told the folks are in a conference meeting, she cannot interrupt. I strongly urged Anna to interrupt as this is very bad PR for the company, but Anna would not sway.” CastleCops link here.

So because she won’t “interrupt a conference meeting”, the site is live right now.

Why do I bother blogging this? I see sites constantly compromised for phishing scams and I guess I’m just going to start raising the volume a bit more on poor security practices that lead to these types of things.
