Web scams…

Over the last year or two there has been more and more press coverage of internet scams. Not just the “buy this pill and we’ll make your … happiness bigger” but more advanced techniques as well. Reading this article from TheRegister it brought it home to me just how easy it would be to provide a clone of another site in order to rip off their customers. With a site ripping program, a hosting package and instructions to pay by money transfer, this method could be the next big attack technique on e-commerce sites. Watch out.
