New Phishing Technique
A new phishing attack technique was discovered today in a Citibank scam targeting Citibank customers.
In this technique "the Address bar on the browser is spoofed, using Javascript and frames, the real address bar is suppressed and despite the HTTPS callout in the Address bar, there is no SSL padlock present in the lower corner of the browser."
