Paypal Hacked
Paypal has been the subject of a hack which allowed scammers to collect personal data, passwords and credit card details etc.
Based on the usual phishing scam, an email asks you to confirm something at Paypal. The clever part is that the link does take you to the real Paypal site. Some nifty cross site scripting allows the scammers to retrieve the information you then type in.
This hole has now been patched but once again leaves the company with more credibility and confidence problems, especially for those outside the ebay umbrella.
If you are concerned about phishing always log into the site directly, any genuine messages will be contained therein.
