The mentioned clues are apparent on this page, too.
The site uses Luhn's formula (a first step CC number verification algorhytm, which does not require connection to a CC server) to check the CC number you enter. Numbers that pass the Luhn formula test are accepted. This does not mean that the phishers have access to some CC info - this checking algorhytm is openly available.Of course, it CAN NOT verify whether this is a a real card number on its own.
After getting the information required, the phish site redirects to the legitimate wamu.com. |
