Over the last year or two there has been more and more press coverage of internet scams. Not just the "buy this pill and we'll make your ... happiness bigger" but more advanced techniques as well. Reading this article from TheRegister it brought it home to me just how easy it would be to provide a clone of another site in order to rip off their customers. With a site ripping program, a hosting package and instructions to pay by money transfer, this method could be the next big attack technique on e-commerce sites. Watch out.
