[bcab] Re: That Phish has been swimming around for ages

Hi,

The best fishing filter I have come across is actually the open source
ClamAv for Linux.  In the past week, it has stopped 86 fishing virus
messages at our gateway.  The downside is that it is Linux based and
requires a plugin that allows messages to go through it from the mail
server.

This is not a friendly phish, but don't panic, just be on your guard.
According to the first google 
lookup I made,  the "eBay verify accounts" phishing email (from the
fictional address security at e 
bay dot com) has been trying to hook people since April 2005.
