Phisherman Fiasco

Please merge this article with Phishfest.

The 2006 Phisherman Fiasco was run by Mugenmidget with aid from Banana Head and Draco Icebane, the latter of which was convinced by administrators to tell. It began with a test using an object tag to embed an iFrame which led to a fake login page. The user was also logged out, so that they would think it was a genuine relog page and use it if it came up again. This page emailed a user's entered name and password to Mugen, who then logged into their account, changed the password and placed a matching object tag in their signature.

The iFrame was later replaced with a Flash animation by Banana Head which performed the same tasks as the original.

All Draco did was suggest he use a meta tag because they were not blocked, as well as a few other tips on the execution to avoid the glaringly obvious realisation it was fake.

Draco Icebane's involvement in the ordeal led him to disturb Mugen by dropping hints on who it was. He was quickly assaulted by the administrator team, threatened, bribed, and politely asked until Mugen logged off of AIM, at which point he told.

Mugen was then banned indefinately from the forums, although he is likely to make a return.
