Capital One, N.A.—Due to recent account takeovers
This is an interesting one... Looks totally real!
The link looks like the place to go to connect to CapitalOne, but of course, the true URL was like this:
http://www.remetzo.gr/.support/onlinebanking.capitalone.com/online.service/oas/login.htm
As usual, the hackers don't even offer a secure server. Makes sense, you'd get an "error" saying that your browser cannot verify their certificate!
Okay, now what's funny here is that CapitalOne does not accept my browser to connect to their service. Thus, I cannot use CapitalOne online (not like I care, just a note). You can look here how CapitalOne protects you from being stolen... They tell you have that you have to use Internet 5.5 or better or Netscape 6.1 or better... Hmmm... That sounds totally secure to me. And that's a bank protecting you!!!
