It's more than phising

Most of these sites also try to load trojans. I use a sacrificial machine to visit them and you'd be surprised, no, shocked, at the amount of software some of these sites try to load. I went to one site that had apparently become 0wn3d by someone else, as it had two trojans and two smtip servers and two comms tools, all going to radically different locations. The hackers who attacked the criminals weren't smart enough to clean things up. What a bunch of t00ls.

It's also fun to watch these sites break when I visit on a Linux box or, even better, my HP-UX box. Some of these sites are so poorly designed that they fall over.
