Spamhaus, a non-profit organisation, currently has 20 Yahoo domain names on its block list SBL. Cox said Spamhaus had written to Yahoo on a daily basis but had no success in removing the domain names. "Whenever there is an entry on SBL, there is a mail sent to them Yahoo," he said. "They never responded. But anything with 'Barclays Bank' in the title is for nothing other than a fraudulent purpose." Cox said other organisations including AOL and Microsoft are sweeping their networks for fraudulent domains and removing phishing websites. Cox was speaking at a Westminster eForum on spam, scams and security, where Nick Hazell, alliance director for Yahoo, was also speaking.

The whole thing can be classified as a downright phishing scam. That appears to be what is happening with a new program documented by security software vendor Webroot Software Inc. Called 2search, the program secretly hijacks some Google searches by presenting fake results in the midst of legitimate ones. Because the pages shown look identical to regular Google results, most victims would have no clue anything is amiss.
