FYI - PayPal Hack - GoFuckYourself.com

edmo · 06-25-2002, 12:31 AM

"The link takes users to a Web site that only looks like PayPal. When you type in your account information, you give a hacker access to your bank account and credit cards."

"In fact, when you click into one of the scam e-mails and wind up at a fake site, the site usually has a fake url to make it look like the real thing."

Haha.. we used to do this to the teachers in high-school so we could change our grades.. It was pretty easy shit to fake a unix login prompt .. didn't even have to be perfect. They get a "bad password" response, we clear the screen, and send them to a real login. Haha...

A big company would never do anything bad like that! ::cough enron::: I mean, to think that a big U.S. company :::enron::: would do something to harm another company, or to profit for themselves :::martha stewart::: by insider trading....

I mean, don't be ridiculous mike503

Maybe Ive seen scam sites like that myself before though

XXXPaysiteDesign · 06-25-2002, 10:45 AM

I had a buddy do the same thing with AOL, you should have seen how many screenames/passwords he collected.

Keev · 06-25-2002, 11:23 AM

Well one more uphill battle and win for ecommerce once its solved.

Kimmykim · 06-25-2002, 12:26 PM

Nothing new to the scam. People have been doing this to get various information since there's been an internet and a crook in the same room.

Pays to be careful of the urls etc when you give out your information.

Lensman · 06-25-2002, 12:28 PM

Actually, it's not a hack, it's just someone spoofing PayPal's email and site.
