Brian,
I am seeing more & more attacks trying to get account information regarding my Amazon, eBay and various bank/investment accounts.
If you think this would help our members be aware of this type of hacking you are welcome to forward this email to the SFCC list.

1. Here is the original email sent to me (spoofed to look like it came from eBay) with an attachment that I didn’t open. Looks real doesn’t it? I highlighted the warning flags that raised my suspicion. Note the poor English – “has blocked” vs. “has been blocked” and “Paypal vs. PayPal”.
