Look at the URL: http://twilight.gobike1.com/ <-- definitely NOT Cahoot.
If you feel you may be susceptible to these kinds of attacks, I strongly strongly recommend installing something like FireFox, Web of Trust, McAfee Site Advisor or all three. If you don't mind fiddling with your PC internals, go get a free account over at OpenDNS, set up their Dynamic DNS client, and turn on filtering for all the bits you want to be blocked from visiting (phishing sites being just one example).Starting Debt: ~£20,000 01/01/2009.
