ABN AMRO Phishing mail

Another phishing mail I received today. Looks like my mailbox attracks phishing mails this week...
This certainly gives me a reason to blog more often again ;-)

This one is targeting Dutch ABN AMRO bank account users.

Geachte ABN-Amro klant,

® Op dit moment is ABN-Amro bezig met het vernieuwen van de systeembeveiligingen. Hierbij vragen wij u om uw persoonsgegevens opnieuw in te vullen door op de onderstaande link te klikken

This one is sent from the spoofed mailaddress ABN AMRO NV customercare @ abnamro.nl
When you click the Log in button, it redirects you to a phishing page where it asks you to fill in your bank account and passnumber.





It looks like there are a lot of similar phishing mails going around lately to target ABN AMRO bank account users and I fear a lot of new ones will follow.
In case you have received a similar mail from ABN AMRO, please report it via their website:

Beware Telenet.be users - Telenet.be phishing scam going around

First of all - WOW! It has been ages I have blogged here ! I really should start to blog more often again. Work & life has kept me real busy lately, so unfortunately there's not much extra free time left over anymore.
If only there were 36 hours in a day, so much I still want to do and learn...


Anyway, Just received the following in my mailbox today:
