Can someone explain to me what phishing is and how to avoid it and any signs to look out for?

website was used

great the website i talked about as disappearing was used for phishing...

I wonder if it happened because the admin console had a log in of something stupid like admin!!

Anyway the other sites are ok for now!! will have to get them checked and decide whether to sack the guy in india.

Must increase my learning curve i think!

Hmm, very dodgy!

I would'nt have thought anyone would have guessed the password.

I know with my host if i get the details wrong 3 times, the ip address gets locked.

Have you asked your indian developer?

sent an email

I have sent an email to the indian guy....it won't be him directly...he comes to the UK next week............he won't show up if its him.....I have met him on several occassions and been working with him about a two years.

The site ghdtw.co.uk had loads of generic holiday domain names directed to it for charity!! I set up a tsunami help site...clearly no longer very helpful!!

I thought I would put domains like caribbeancruises.co.uk to it until I get time to complete a site for each one....very charitable indeed!!

phishing reply

profit margin on dvdrecorders is low and labour intensive...affiliate style make work best.

My india guy said this regarding the phishing:-

Will look into the ghdtw mail server - maybe we did use this as a partof
the blog or message forum address and may have been caught phishing by the
servers. Will remove and keep an alternate mail id instead.

Told him I am not paying for that site....and dont let it happen again!!
