A new line in my access log the other day. As far as i can tell this is most likely a phishing scam. Does anyone know if I might be wrong.

I can see little more trace on my machine of any damage. The log was recorded 3 time over the course of an hour or so.

    It looks like somebody's robot accessing the HTTP server on your machine. My gut says it's probably harmless. Searching Google for those keyword returns other people who are seeing it in their logs, too.

    It's good to be vigilant and it's good to hear that you're watching your logs so closely. In this case, I suspect you're alright.
