This is the part where you are going to take the most. There is a certain "lightening" because
the law is not yet very well aware of the offenses computer science. However, in the case of
concealment and theft of BANK information , the law knows how to proceed, and the Prosecutor will assassinate you and the complainant who will not spare you during his testimony. For the theft of information, you are accused of theft in the judicial sense of the
term:
- Theft of information harming others (art. 311-11 of the Penal Code - 76,000 euros fine and
up to 5 years in prison)
If you obtained the banking information by phishing, the Prosecutor will also subpoena you
for fraud, the reason cannot be brought.
During the Call:
- Fraud (art. 313-1 of the Penal Code - 375,000 euros fine and up to 5 years in prison)

mediator, you are guilty of one of the heaviest penalties possible

up to 7 years in prison) If you have laundered, aided in laundering, or participated in any way

Any collection of electronic addresses must be done in accordance with the provisions of the
texts in force. Any fraudulent action will be punishable by a fine of 300,000 euros and
imprisonment for a period of 5 years. It is often worth it with respect to spammers who feed
their databases using phishing.

What is spamming? Or should we call it phishing? 🤔💭
In the community of fraud we usually call it spamming. Spamming isn’t limited to phishing
attempts and is usually defined by the average citizen as unwanted mail, not necessarily
dangerous. Webroot.com has a text that I’ll loan for the sake of explaining both spamming
and phishing.
“Spam is called junk mail for good reason. It’s existed for almost as long as the internet itself
as a means of selling products or services to a larger market of buyers than have ever
expressed interest in those products or services. After obtaining the email addresses of a
huge number of individuals, spammers bulk send their offers hundreds or thousands at a
time.”

What is phishing?
“Whereas spam is simply unwanted, phishing is expressly designed by a malignant actor to
harm a company or individual by obtaining sensitive information. It often takes the form of a
seemingly legitimate-looking message from a trusted sender. Phishing emails target banking
credentials, passwords, cash advances, or other information of value. Identity theft often
results. “
With that out of the way, I will be calling them by both spamming and phishing depending on
the context. The meaning is still the same.

Phishing consists of multiple bad-actors
UKs division for fraud “National Economic Crime Centre” (NECC) has a map of all the
actors involved in the scene of phishing
We are mainly going to focus on the Fraudster 2 “Spammers” work involved in this book.
This doesn’t capture the full circle, I have decided to keep out the “mule network” in this
example.

● Red page
The term Red page is the “harmful and/or deceptive” page shown on Google
Chrome. Here is a screenshot INSERT

Using email as means to phish information from victims. A common way but gets
harder everyday.
● SMS Spamming
Using SMS as means to phish information from victims. Untapped method in some
countries, starting to get harder.

redirects to your page.
● Logs
Bank login information that was most likely gained by spamming. Gives you access

for you to be tracked.
● Keyword filter
A keyword that is marked fraudulent by carriers. For example, “account security alert”

Email or SMS Spamming?
This is a good question. For businesses, email has been a tried-and-true method to reach
audiences and send mass messages. However, as the use of mobile phones increases,
SMS messaging is quickly becoming a great new way to connect with customers.
Businesses today use SMS to communicate with their customers directly on their mobile
devices about new promotions, exclusive discounts, appointment reminders, and
time-sensitive updates.
According to Twilio, 9 out of 10 text messages are opened within the first three minutes of
being received, making it a great opportunity for brands to capture attention.
Since Businesses are expanding to SMS instead of old-fashioned Email, it might be easier to
trick a victim? One thing is for sure, both ways have their advantages. Penetrating Gmail's
anti-phishing system is extremely hard and will mark your mail content as fraudulent fast. If
you target self-hosted mails, you might penetrate their anti-spam filter but that still leaves
room for grammatical errors, issues with loading and a fishy email sender.
An SMS on the other hand is short, can be spoofed, used by companies (that has poor
security standards) & is overall faster (referring to Twilios study). That is why I believe SMS
spamming is more effective and people have their guard down on SMS, especially if it has a
spoofed SID matching the company. People have been learned since day one of emails to
check grammatical errors, the sender and content of the message. SMS is newer and is
seen by the general as safer.

Operational security (OPSEC)
This niche is purely a game of cat and mouse. The lawmakers and organizations enforcing
the law are always trying to catch up to people breaking it.
Even though SMS spamming is fairly new, they are working hard both day and night to set a
stop for it. We see more filters taking place in carrier networks, spoofing is harder, corner
store SIMs not lasting long, limits on SMS per day and information being spread about these
phishing attempts.
That is why your OPSEC is of utmost importance when operating in this niche. You should
always be browsing using a VPN, preferably the router using a VPN. I highly recommend
Mullvad VPN or IVPN.
Don’t share information with others, use encrypted message systems, don’t brag to friends
and remove all META-information when sharing pictures. That also includes screenshots.
This book is not about OPSEC so I will leave as is. Please ensure you are safe!

Why does a phishing page go red?
According to Google, there are several types :
The site ahead contains malware: The site you start to visit might try to install bad software,
called malware, on your computer.
Deceptive site ahead: The site you try to visit might be a phishing site.
Suspicious site: The site you want to visit seems suspicious and may not be safe.
The site ahead contains harmful programs: The site you start to visit might try to trick you
into installing programs that cause problems when you’re browsing online.
This page is trying to load scripts from unauthenticated sources: The site you try to visit isn't
secure.

The question comes now, how does Google Safebrowsing recognize my site as phishing?!
Well, that is simple to answer :
The code matters, but not always.
Why not always?
These have been phishing pages that had 'bot' and 'victim' traffic, and didn't turn red, and the
code was 1:1 from the original website.
Now let's deal with a few other points. How is our site selected according to the
safebrowsing principle and does my site have anything to do with it, e.g. Antibots?
Usually, Antibots were coded, to block a bunch of IP ranges, Crawlers and Bots. Bot traffic is
like a virus, nobody wants it. Bot traffic fills on bad coded pages empty forms out, continue
without clicking submit button and fills your mail with empty logs. Another reason to use
Antibots is also to avoid web security scanner and analyzer to explore our page.
So what happens when a bot passes our antibots?
This is not bad at all if the page has a good anti skip form validation like Scarletta pages. But
if this happens you will get empty logs.
Does my site have any damage like RED after passing a bot?
In most cases, no. It can happen if a lot of bots happen that it comes to this, but by a single
one you can not make yourself a picture of the whole site as an anti-phishing company
because there are now times false positives.
What does Safebrowsing pay attention to ?
● URL
● HTML Code
● Resource file names (CSS, JS, IMAGES...)
● Post Field Values (username, password ....)
● Known HTML Comments Of Coders
● Drops If Invalid Actions Are Done (like 404 page, die or exit in PHP*)
● Does The Application/Page Looks Suspicious ?
● Phishing Terms Found ?
* Dropping 404 errors are also suspicious to google, they notice that they have an error and
try to visit the page maybe multiple times.
