Skipped 1.4.14 version On 27 May 2008 the SquirrelMail Team announced that, while the latest released version of their software was 1.4.13, a spammer was sending unsolicited email messages to various recipients about a 1.4.14-rc1 release candidate version which didn't really exist. The messages (usually titled "Internet Users Email Upgrade (IUEU)") urged recipients to upgrade immediately (because of supposed security issues) and contained a web link for users to do so. However, that web link pointed to a page where the spammer was collecting email addresses and passwords. Beside the fact that end users are not responsible for upgrading such software, that the "upgrade" page was merely a mock SquirrelMail login page made it clear that this was a Phishing attack. The "upgrade" page has been hosted on various compromised systems across the Internet and the attack has continued at least through July 2009 (sample [23] ). As a result, the SquirrelMail team skipped version 1.4.14 and its next release after 1.4.13 was 1.4.15. [24] This versioning tactic was of limited effectiveness, as later phish runs referenced 1.4.15 instead of 1.4.14.

Skipped 1.4.14 version<br />

On 27 May 2008 the SquirrelMail Team announced that, while the latest released version of their software was<br />

1.4.13, a spammer was sending unsolicited email messages to various recipients about a 1.4.14-rc1 release candidate<br />

version which didn't really exist. The messages (usually titled "Internet Users Email Upgrade (IUEU)") urged<br />

recipients to upgrade immediately (because of supposed security issues) and contained a web link for users to do so.<br />

However, that web link pointed to a page where the spammer was collecting email addresses and passwords. Beside<br />

the fact that end users are not responsible for upgrading such software, that the "upgrade" page was merely a mock<br />

SquirrelMail login page made it clear that this was a Phishing attack. The "upgrade" page has been hosted on various<br />

compromised systems across the Internet and the attack has continued at least through July 2009 (sample [23] ).<br />

As a result, the SquirrelMail team skipped version 1.4.14 and its next release after 1.4.13 was 1.4.15. [24]<br />

This versioning tactic was of limited effectiveness, as later phish runs referenced 1.4.15 instead of 1.4.14. [25]<br />
