Another eBay scheme, Mozilla updates!
Another phishing scheme targeting eBay caught today. Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt is rampant - your account has *already been suspended*! Do something *immediately*!The website: signin_ebay_com_account.PoRnOsIn.CoM:7308
The upper and lowercase letters serve to draw your eye away from that, because it makes it look more like the URL, and all you see is "ebay" and "com".
Note that the Firefox status bar lowercases the URL, making it easier to see. Another instance where Firefox is helpful.
Speaking of which, the new Thunderbird client (0.7.3) and the new Firebird (0.9.3) are AWESOME. Thunderbird now lets you choose to see all your email in plain text format (HOORAY!) and switch back and forth between plain text and HTML with a couple mouse clicks or even a ALT-V-B-H and ALT-V-B-P.
See mozilla.org for more information!
