Paypal phishing – what a nerve

2006-05-05 by Nikke Lindqvist 2 Comments

Some people really do have a lot of nerve, don’t they? I just received this phishing attempt to an e-mail account that I have never ever used, and that is visible (and collectable as it turns out) from my Text Pong pages.

Now. Phising isn’t new, but to do a phishing attempt in a mail waring for… phising attempts. Isn’t that just a bit too much?

Click here or on the image if you want to see it in higher resolution.

The phishing attempt is complete with a sign in link to PayPal that goes to an IP number owned by somebody else. However almost half of the links in the mail actually takes you to PayPal, one even to a page where Paypal warns their customers of how to detect false Paypal e-mails.

Remember! If you have any doubt about the authenticity of a PayPal email, simply open a new web browser, type in https://www.paypal.com and perform the requested activity. Don’t ever click a sign in link in a mail from paypal. Or in any mail for that matter.

Stay safe. Act wizely.

Flikar och ”fäll ut”-innehåll – nästan lika dåligt som dold text

I slutet av januari gjordes en av de större uppdateringarna av Googles riktlinjer för webbplatsägare, och det enligt mig intressantaste stycket kan få stor påverkan på hur webbplatser hanterar javascript-objekt som fäller ut mer text eller visar menyer först efter att man scrollar nedåt på sidan. Så har du en sajt som visar större delen av ett textobjekt först efter att användaren klickar på [fäll ut] eller [visa], så bör du nog läsa den här artikeln.
