Gone Phishing

Phishing schemes have been using replicas of eBay and PayPal emails, complete with the real links and images, for a while. I got one from Korea today with two interesting features:

  1. It actually said to click the link or type in the address manually, trying to dupe the victim into thinking the link must be legitimate.
  2. The email template they stole included a real link to eBay’s spoof detection page.

As usual, I turned on all the headers and forwarded it to spoof at ebay dot com. If Meg paid a bounty on these, I’d be a rich man!
