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. [25]
