Phishing Group Caught Stealing From Other Phishers 129
An anonymous reader writes "Netcraft has written about a website offering free phishing kits with one ironic twist — they all contain backdoors to steal stolen credentials from the fraudsters that deploy them.
Deliberately deceptive code inside the kits means that script kiddies are unlikely to realize that any captured credit card numbers also end up getting sent to the people who made the phishing kits. The same group was also responsible for another backdoored phishing kit used against Bank of America earlier this month."

If they reall wanted to do it right, they could just pool all their resources and split the rewards. They could even invite others to join in, with a BotNet@Home project. Lend your computer to the BotNet, and get a prorated share of the take from stolen credit cards credited to your PayPal account.

Give a man a phishing kit and you take advantage of him for a lifetime.
(of course by "man" we mean spotty-faced script kiddie, and by "lifetime" we mean until he wipes his harddisk, but proverbs are meant to be pithy and brief, not accurate.)
