Paypal Users Still Targeted for Identy Theft
Among the spam messages hitting consumers’ email inboxes lately is a message that appears to be from PayPal, warning the recipient that they are the apparent target of hackers.
The message, however, is designed to steal sensitive information from anyone who responds.
The message bears the PayPal logo and the bright graphics one would expect from a corporate communication. It informs the recipient that their account has been blocked because someone tried, unsuccessfully, three times to access it.
For extra effect the message even gives an IP address, allegedly traced to the supposed hacker.
