With phishing becoming so commonplace in the last couple of years, all major browsers and anti-malware programs have added anti-phishing filters to their lineup…and the phishers seem to have found a way around at least some of those browsers and anti-malware programs.
The Register has an article called Strange spoofing technique evades anti-phishing filters which talks about the strange going ons that Matty Hall, a brit, has been going through lately, which seems to demonstrate that the anti-phishing filters of both IE7 and Norton 360 have been compromised.
Roger Thompson, from Exploit Prevention Labs, thinks it may be an html injector, modifying the html in transit, and not a DNS hijacking or other more common phishing technique.
