Attached is a file called myvirtualmerchant_login.html which is the phish itself, displaying the following screen.

The form itself sends the details to mail.xinsanjing.com on 220.189.213.181. (HangZhou XinSanJing Food Co. Ltd. China) which is possibly a hacked server. In this case the email originated from 209.91.252.206 in Puerto Rico.

If you use Elavon's services, watch out for this phish.

Thanks for this information. I just googled this after receiving an email and found your blog. I don't even use Elavon, so I knew it was a phish, but at the same time I thought, maybe I signed up?! Thanks!
