Hilton and I were talking and he mentioned to me that he got a great looking phishing email in his Yahoo account, so I decided to take a quick look at the format and believability of the message to see if it would fool the average user. I was VERY surprised at how well this message was formatted and you’ll see that during my review a second less.

I was VERY surprised at how well this message was formatted and as an extra bonus you’ll see that during my review a second less sophisticated message comes in and I go through a similar process of reviewing headers and reviewing the website.

This is a real-time video of me going through the messages. For some reason the audio is a little screwed up, I don’t think my voice sounds so squeaky – but hey, who knows perhaps I really do sound like that…
