[Phishing URL: http://bacleys2.x10hosting.com/barclays/index.htm ]
Dear Sirs,
RSA , an anti-fraud and security company, acting on behalf of Barclays Bank PLC (a leading UK bank) has been made aware that you appear to be providing Internet Services to a fraudulent site, which is part of a “phishing scam”**, and which violates Barclays’ copyright, trade marks and other intellectual property rights.
E-mails have been sent to individuals by a fraudster pretending to be Barclays Bank, requesting them to verify and submit sensitive details related to their Barclays bank accounts.
Within the fraudulent emails there is link that leads the users to a fake Barclays website (at the following address URL http://bacleys2.x10hosting.com/barclays/index.htm ) to which you provide services and which is under your responsibility.
This spoofed website is not only a misuse of Barclays’ intellectual property rights but its purpose is also to fraudulently obtain personal information of Barclays customers and details of their bank accounts in order to fraudulently access such accounts.
Please take all necessary steps to immediately shut down the fraudulent website, terminate its availability to the Internet and discontinue the
transmission of any e-mails associated with this website.
We understand that you may not be aware of this improper use of your services and we appreciate your cooperation. We specifically would ask that you also take the following actions:
• Please provide us with a tar/zip file of the source code for this site, so that we may analyze it to help prevent further attacks.
• If any customer data has been captured that is stored on your systems or equipment, please send us that data so that the customers to whom that data
relates can be notified and take steps to protect their credit.
• Please provide a copy of any records you maintain that indicate the name, contact information, method of payment or similar information that may be useful in
helping learn the identity and location of the customer for whom the website has been operated.
Thank you for your cooperation to prevent and terminate this fraudulent activity.
If you need further information please do not hesitate to contact us as follows:
