suspicious emails claiming from Maybank

cklim123my@gmail.com (cklim) — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 00:00:00 +0000

I received a suspicious email claiming to be from Maybank yesterday. The email message as follow:

From my observations, several suspicious points as follow:

1) Sender email:

84.131.31.1@mayban2uk.com.my

**please note the @domain (it’s in maybank2uk.com.my) which is not the official domain if I guess it right (maybank2u.com.my)

**secondly, the bank will not asking for account reactivation/ password update, etc through email.

2) url attached in the email

**url/web address for redirection to the “e-banking site” will be provided in most scam emails. When I moved cursor to the hyperlink, it displayed the following url:

http://everyday.cl/administrator/templates/mambo_admin_blue/m2u.htm

which is totally crap!!!

3) Format of the email itself

**If this email is for me, it should address me (e.g. Dear Mr. Lim, etc).

**every corporate email should have proper html letter head, design layout i.e. maybank logo, colour design etc.

**there should be a disclaimer statement at the bottom of each message.

My Action was:

Submitted the Phishing Report to Maybank.

Please pass this message around and always be alert. Go to the bank directly should you have any queries.

I am leaving Exeter few days later to attend graduation at Glasgow. Will be there for 3D2N, a hectic and packed journey. I will only stay for a while, simply because I have scheduled meeting with supervisors, and discuss new experimental protcols as well as formal bi-monthly progress meeting that held few days later.

Travel itinerary as follow:

gathering with former flatmates
graduation and photo session
dinner with friends at Glasgow
dinner with colleagues
meeting with master’s supervisor at Glasgow, to discuss previous findings that will be reporting on journal. Hope get second paper published soon.
attending a plant science talk. surprisingly my Exeter’s co-supervisor will be giving a talk at Glasgow while i still at Glasgow too, so certainly i am going to his talk too.
squeeze a time slot to watch 2012. :-p

Systems Biology Workshop @ Tremough, Cornwall Campus of Exeter

cklim123my@gmail.com (cklim) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 08:49:00 +0000

last month I went another campus of Exeter at Cornwall for a Systems Biology Workshop.

Hopefully one day I will become the pioneer researcher in this field in Malaysia.

More will come, stay tune.

impact of stress (drought) on plant

cklim123my@gmail.com (cklim) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 18:06:00 +0000

My PhD project is investigating the impacts of biotic and abiotic stresses on plant. This picture showed the detrimental effect on model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana. Since Arabidopsis is a weed, imagine what will happen to our crops, vege(s) that are more “fragile”

birthday greetings-thank you!

cklim123my@gmail.com (cklim) — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 22:50:00 +0000

Thank you for all the birthday greetings and wishes from friends and families.
