SEnuke: Ready for action

There's a rising trend in Paypal phishing scams. Browse here at the link www.facebook.com/tylermcollins/ to read why to allow for it. The newest Paypal spoof I received warns me that my Paypal account is suspended. It asks me to restore full access to my account by logging in to Paypal. When I click on the link provided in the email, I am delivered to a web site that looks just like the PayPal login page. This staggering www.facebook.com/tylermcollins link has collected pictorial tips for the meaning behind this activity. However the link doesn't head to Paypal.

This is actually the link shown in the email I received.

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-run

It really takes you to some page when you click on the link.

It is usually not a good idea to click on links within an email. Make sure that you're signing into the Paypal website by considering the target location part of your browser, if you do.

Contact your bank or credit card issuers immediately to avoid identity theft, In case you have already replied to the fake email. Should you desire to check your Paypal bill position, personally typ-e PayPal's address in-to your browser and sign in normally.

I was in a position to tell that it was a spoof email since the email started with Dear PayPal member.' Paypal will always address you by your first and last name. They'll never send you a note and handle you as Dear PayPal member or such.

Yet another way to tell if a message is from Paypal is to go through the full header. The header is the indication of if the email is from Paypal or not. When considering the header it should say who sent the e-mail in the very first two lines. Case in the latest spoof e-mail I received it originated in

Return-Path: lester@server.ravin.net

Received: from http://server.ravin.net

If it doesnt say that it passed through Paypals server, you then know the email is a spoof. The FBI is earnestly investigating these spoofs, so please report any suspicious emails by forwarding them to spoof@paypal.com.
