WSLabs, Phishing Alert: Party Poker

WSLabs, Phishing Alert: Party Poker Inbox

Websense® Security Labs(TM) has received reports of a phishing attack that targets users of Party Poker. Users receive a spoofed email message which claims that a new online gambling law will be passed, and that they must log in to their account to view the impact on Party Poker users. The email provides a link to a phishing site that attempts to collect personal and account information.

This phishing site is hosted in the United States and was up at the time of this alert.

Phishing email text:

Party Poker news!!!

Dear poker player,
Information for US and all over the World based customers on the passing of the 'Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006. On September 30, 2006, the United States Congress passed The Safe Port Act.

That measure also contained certain provisions known as the 'Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006'. On October 2, 2006, Party Gaming made an announcement regarding the impact the act would have on business when, as expected, it is signed into law.
