Seems sad to say I told ya so, but it appears that Phish is still bad. According to a CNN article from 1648, Phishing is on the rise and it's as illegal and immoral as ever. Check out this CNN blurb from a CNN article from today's CNN:
Even the commissioner of the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance got one of the phishing e-mails -- on his government computer.
"This phishing scheme is exploding, it's a reflection of how brazen these crooks have become," Commissioner Andrew Eristoff said.
"Here they are targeting a tax administrator with a tax refund scam. Unbelievable," he said.
It really is unbelievable. But should Phishing actually be illegal? That depends, I suppose. Like, I would have made following Phish illegal from around 1992 to say August of 1995. After that, it would have been legal to follow them until around 1999 or 2000 at the latest, at which point people would simply have to go back to following the Lord. Shit man, I mean, what exactly IS your fee to drive me to Firenze?
