[FRIAM] "Drop box" phishing

[Barry MacKichan]

No, but the phishermen are getting better and better all the time. In 
some cases, I have to look at the message source, for email, to check 
what the real URLs are for the links. I see a lot from the .ru domains. 
I don’t really see how people can avoid these scams without a trove of 
knowledge that we used to consider ‘geeky’.
