eBay phishing scam from within eBay's "My Messages" system
RayB:
You think that's bad? It gets even WORSE.
There are listings now that after you click on them to view them, automatically switches to a page that looks EXACTLY like the normal Ebay "sign in" page. The only way to notice something is "not right" is if you look at the URL in the address bar. But chances are, you'll just enter your username and password, since Ebay is full of areas and options that require sign-in before using.

That sounds almost as likely to be a local browser worm, a .hosts redirect, or something similar on the local client. It would be much, much harder to hack into ebay and actually change their links.

Enter: Vladuz into Google (nothing more, just that name) and see what the REAL story is. eBay HAS been hacked, they have full control inside their own servers. Of course eBay will never admit that.

Wow. Point made.
