Mac,

Are you taking any steps to filter those emails? I find Gmail is way better than Yahoo at keep the crap to a minimum.

Cheers,

Mitch

Phishing has become prevalent in all parts of the world. There are a number of phishing mails that I delete every day and yet the potential hackers continue sending the mails everyday. I think education about phishing is the most significant factor and such blog posts can serve as a informative source and help avoid phishing scams. Thank you for enlightening me about phishing technology!

I’ve had a similar close call – I received a payment notification from what I thought was my hosting company. I was about to login to “Paypal” and noticed the IP address in the address bar.

Very close call that could’ve caused me a lot of stress.

PayPal accounts are the common targets of Phising. Without intuition, I may have been a victim myself.

Welcome, Paul!

You’re absolutely right – and it’s even worse: as we become accustomed to receiving email notifications from our regular sources, we’ll let our guards down. See my post Spam is Your Fault for an example.

Cheers,

I know that even best protection will fail if human fails, first of all we’ve got to spread knowledge about things like this, if people are not wisdom then they are really easy target for thiefs.
