I’ve just came across a post by LiewCF about (The Department of Islamic Development of Malaysia) hosting a phishing site!

Let’s visualise this: A paypal phishing site is hosted by a governmental body. On top of that, it is not any ordinary body, but it is JAKIM (The Department of Islamic Development of Malaysia)!

How ironic is that?


What I can deduce from the currently available facts is that either the webmaster secretly uploaded the phishing files (If he’s foolish enough to do so!), or a hacker actually hacked a Malaysian government’s website (which is not surprising).

It seems that LiewCF has failed to contact the webmaster. romantika.name too, seems to be trying to contact JAKIM. He has contacted NISER though.

This is indeed embarassing.

If any of you would like to see the phishing page, just go to http://www.islam.gov.my/online/cgi/ .

Do NOT login to your Paypal via that page!

This is a screenshot of the page (in which Firefox successfully detected that it was a phishing site):
