eBay scrambles to fix phishing bug
eBay scrambles to fix phishing bug | CNET News.com
Ebay, since it is such a major site on the web, often finds itself a target of phishing scams. So it has also taken several steps to protect customers - including establishing an internal e-mail system so that customers no longer are tempted to respond to bogus e-mails asking for personal information. Still, these phishers are a persistent group and now are trying to trick people by asking them to log into sites that look very similar to Ebays. All the more reason to be very, very, very hesitant to give out personal information to anyone.
