Subject: Phishing scam - yet another Paypal phishing
scam!
Hi everybody,
I just wanted to add another phishing scam to the "in the wild" list.
A fake Paypal email is pointing potential IE victims to a modified URL:
http://www.paypal.com%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01@....54.126.187/f/
The host 211.54.126.187 is up and running, the email address of the
administrator seems to be a fake, mail bounces immediately. The
211.54.126.187/f/ URL points to a dead page though, so maybe the admin
has already taken action.
This is the HTML source of the spam email:
Note that the mail is actually using real elements from PayPal.
Measuring the art of social engineering here, I'd say this one is pretty
clever.
What really is annoying here is that this bug already exists for several
weeks in IE and it seems MS is not willing to do something about that.
The simple minded user shouldn't use IE as long as this is still not
fixed.
