Warning Ebay Spoof
mookaloid - 13/4/06 at 12:17 PM

This is the best spoof I have ever seen

It caught me out and I actually entered my password and pressed enter.

I realised a few seconds later when it didn't take me to an item, and looking more closely the URL wasn't right for ebay but as I say it had me fooled.

I changed my password within 30 seconds after I realised so I don't think any harm was done!

A new varition on the " Why haven't I recieved my item " spoof.

I have noticed over the last couple of weeks a big increase in various redirection hijacks at many of the PCs I have been working on. I get the general feeling the overall threat level is pretty high just now, so much so I have dusted off my IPCop box and upgraded it now everything goes through IPCop and CopFilter.
