Security Flaw In Paypal :Users Take Note
Paypal users,please take note of this,it’s quiet important.
UK Security Firm NetCraft, has warned Paypal users of a very serious flaw that is being exploited by fraudsters to steal credit card numbers and other personal information belonging to PayPal users.
Most of us paypal users by now would have come across those ‘Paypal’ scams in our inbox,and like me,i believe you are quiet immune to it and pay no attention to the scams at all,however this particular scam is a lot more convincing that the rest,becuase it actually leads you to the REAL paypal site, and becuase it’s the genuine Paypal site it would appear as if information is encrypted through the company’s own SSL certificates. However, through cross-site scripting, some of the information on the accessed page has been modified.
Netcraft said that its anti-phishing toolbar has been updated to block access to the external server the user is directed to, which resides in Korea.
And you thought Korea was only good at the World Cup?
