Is there any way to run a trace to the source of the phishing code? Maybe send a similar problem their way?

Don't we wish. I always wondered why we couldn't go against the sponsors of spammers. . . the companies that benefited from the spammed advertising. I received spammed ads from major banks, automobile manufacturers, insurance companies, etc., but when I investigated about going after them for the waste of my time and bandwidth I was told they were not responsible, nor were their advertising agencies. I had to find the people actually sending the spam and sue them but usually they were not in jurisdictions where they were suable! It is ridiculous we cannot sue the people whose products are being touted in the spam! But that's the way the courts have ruled! If we could sue the advertisers, spam would stop the next day.
