OWA is vulnerable to Phishing
-
Most of the time having good locks on your doors and windows in your house will keep most bad guys out. Most hackers are the same way and go after easy prey. If a bad guy is specifically scoping out your house and targeting it, then you have more to worry about. The same thing with IT security.

Nothing wrong with making sure that your locks work well... and fixing the ones that don't. 8-)

Exactly. My job has become hacking

Ummm....as an attacker, why can't I just have a next page fake confirmation which forgets the profile photo (easy to overlook in a hurry) and get the password for google anyway?
Same again for the banking website.
It's not easy to clone, because the URL is the same for Google and Online banking. Also Online banking shows an image to confirm your identity and google shows a username on the next page.
Is it possible? I am sure it is. Is it easy? no
Yeah but what if the username is just the email address you typed in something that I know most users would overlook, as for URL checking, not sure about that.
Space Coast Credit Union? If those guys show an image of you that's fine but I know of at least 4 banks in the UK won't do that, I think that's fairly rare.
Space Coast is our competitor. I am not sure if they show an image, but I know our online banking does.
I forgot you live down there. My wife's aunt works for Florida Community Bank.

This topic blew up.
Wow.

I threw this together really quick. There may be typos, etc. I gotta go run some quick errands.

I've been doing similar using SPToolkit. When the user clicks on the login/submit/go button it logs their email address and IP, sends them to a webpage that has training on it and explains what they just did and why it is bad, and finally they have to acknowledge that they read the page. I get a report with all of that within the hour. Works great.

Quick question; How would you go about getting your phishing page to OWA users at a company you were targeting? send them an email with a subject like 'click here to login to your company webmail"? with a link to the fake owa site? They would already have their email open. I suppose it could happen that way, these are users we're talking about.

In the Eternal War on Spam/Malware, what can be done?I've told users they have to change their webmail password. If they fail I explain to them they don't have a special login for webmail and they will get an official email, not a generic change you password one.

I can't believe that everyone here is dead wrong. None of the websites mentioned here or OWA are vulnerable to phishing. Not a single website on Internet is. Users are vulnerable to phishing, not websites. Phishing is a social engineering technique to deceive users, not websites. You can create fake Google login form that has both username and password fields and users will fall for it.

Thats exactly what happens. You'd be surprised at what passes for phishing attacks, and how many people fall for them. I've seen ones that have asked people "for security purpose" to enter all 50 4-digit code card entries, something a bank would obviously never do.
And yet...

Especially as real OWA makes you go to a second page and doesn't take the password on the first one. It's a dead field.

Partially that's because real banks have done that traditionally.

Like AMEX. I needed a password reset and they asked all of the info on my card, other than my name and expiration.

Yeah, it definitely still happens. And I've had huge security gaps that I've told a bank was not secure and they didn't care. I said... I literally have no means to tell if you are really my bank or not and they are just like "so, we don't care."
