Stumbling across a scam and a system inadequate to fight cybercrime
The site has already been reported to netcraft and is now showing as dangerous in chrome. Unfortunately this doesn't appear to show on mobiles, where most of the of the victims are falling for the scam.
Advice wanted – Stumbled across active phishing scam
So yesterday I received a suspicious sms message with standard phishing speil asking to follow a link and renew a subscription to well known app.Out of interest I followed the link to see how the attack would work, and before I knew it I had discovered that the attacker had left directory listings enabled on their server!After looking through the PHP used to perform the scam, I could see that...
There are a few very interesting things in the pipeline. Here are a few: https://golem.network/ https://status.im/ https://gnosis.pm/ https://basicattentiontoken.org/ https://augur.net/
You have to sit an exam called the 11+ to enter which is much more like an IQ test than a standard subject based exam.
The most comman argument against them is that privelleged families can afford to tutor their kids specifically to pass this exam.
I was lucky enough to pass the exam, and while there definitely were instances of well off kids who had massive amounts of tutoring, the vast majority were from all kinds of different backgrounds, and levels of education.
For me it was an overwhelmingly positive experience, but I completely understand both sides of the argument.
Without bashing it too much the main issues were severe lack of good documentation, bugs in the core, bugs in contributed modules and poor development workflow.
Funnily enough, as a result of this project I started investigating alternative cms's and from now on will be using Craft.
Initially I was concerned it wouldn't be suitable for a project as complex as the project above, so I spent a day or too recreating some of the more complex parts of that project with Craft and it was a dream!
The developer learning curve with Craft is one of the best I have ever seen with a cms. We now have devs who previously only did frontend using craft in no time.
Nothing but good things to say about it really!
