James Jones’ blog tuned me in to this amazing blog entry from, of all places, the Washington Post. It’s how one of their writers - Brian Krebs - found a site designed to look exactly like ebay’s login page so they can steal all your personal information.
Oddly enough, he even dug up a message on the site that proclaimed that it was for rent to other criminals as long as they were running only an Ebay or Paypal scam. “No bank scams” allowed it said! Even crooks have their limits I suppose.
I strongly suggest you read the entire article!
Whenever logging in to ebay or paypal, be sure to open a new browser window and log in by typing in the url yourself just to be safe.
