Yahoo! accused of hosting thousands of phishing sites

Anti-spam group Spamhaus says Yahoo! won’t take them down…

By Dan Ilett

Yahoo! is hosting thousands of fraudulent websites that have domain names containing the words “bank”, “PayPal” or “eBay”, according to a leading anti-spam group Spamhaus.

Spamhaus claims Yahoo! is hosting almost 5,000 domain names using these words, many of which are linked to phishing scams.

Richard Cox, CIO at Spamhaus, said: “They are hosted on Yahoo! I just took three hot words, but there are dozens of others including misspellings. They are mostly phishing websites, which shows that the situation is out of control.”

Spamhaus, a non-profit organisation, currently has around 20 entries relating to Yahoo! on its block list SBL.

Cox said that Spamhaus had written to Yahoo! about a number of cases, but received no replies.
