Subject: Paypal scam uses Korean school Web server

Hi,

Some criminal type has apparently broken into a Web server belonging to
an elementary school in Korea and has set up a CGI script to collect
people's credit card and bank account information.  To get people to
supply this private information, the scammer has been sending out the
attached spam email message which gives the impression it is from the
PayPal billing department.

The CGI script is located at this URL:

   http://211.34.252.132/secure/PayPalSecurity

The IP address 211.34.252.132 is owned by:

   Haengjoo Kim
   Hajang Elemantary School
   76-1 Goangdong-Ri Hajang-Mayn Samchok-Si
   KANGWON
   +82-33-552-0034
   kngreung@...ack.kornet.net

If someone on this list speaks Korean, can they please let the folks at
Hajang Elementary School that there is a problem and that the scam needs
to be shutdown ASAP.
