Check out this very good story over at Security Focus. This is the story of how some White Hat Hackers tracked down some spammers that are trying to con people into giving up their banking information. Basically, the spam appears to come from CitiBank, and it asks people to go to a web page that appears to be a CitiBank web page, but the pop-up that comes up and asks you to verify your information actually goes to a server in Russia that has nothing to do with CitiBank.
This story shows how spammers and criminals are getting more and more cunning. And it shows how you have to be careful in determining where emails are really coming from. This scam affects CitiBank, but even if you don't use them, someone in the future could do the same with any other bank (or with something like PayPal as we see in the previous article about the new Worm going around). Read the article and be careful with email claiming to be from your bank and asking you for personal information.
This is story about the white hat hacker basically they are come from the CitiBank the spam are the criminal trying to get the information about you.In the mcse certificaiton are give the knowledge about the spammer e.mails how can i break or scan the email and forget it but the spammer are also know how they can target of you
