Phishing Alert: Suntrust Bank - 'Internet Banking with Bill Pay Fees Waived'

Thursday, November 18 2004 @ 09:28 PM EST

This seems to be a pretty popular email, as we have seen a few of these already. This phishing attempt actually targets users of Internet Explorer and tries to send other browser users, such as Mozilla, off to SunTrust's real site.

PHISHING EMAIL:

Mousing over the links show the URL "http://196.40.75.39/s/"

PHISHING SITE:
The landing page after clicking the link is "index.php". This page does some server side logic to determine the user's browser. If the browser is Internet Explorer, they are directed to the next page of the scam site using JavaScript. If the user is using anything else such as Mozilla or Opera, they are redirected to the real SunTrust website.

Output for IE:

<script language="JavaScript">
 location.href=unescape('http://196.40.75.39/s/login.html ');
</script>

Output for other browsers:

<script language="JavaScript">
 location.href=unescape('https://internetbanking.suntrust.com');
</script>

The login has simple JavaScript verification which was essentially ripped off from SunTrust's website. Ironically, SunTrust places today's date in the JavaScript source. So this phisher copied the SunTrust site on "10/23/2004". You will also notice they tried to spoof the location bar by overlaying text. Unfortunately for them, it didn't layout just right. This is apparently the reason they only wanted to send IE users to their site.
