EbayThree quarters of all phishing emails are aimed at eBay or PayPal users, according to the IT security firm Sophos.
An analysis of all phishing emails received so far in 2006 has revealed that 54.3 per cent targeted users of PayPal, while 20.9 per cent attacked customers of the eBay online auction service.
Usually the emails will point recipients to a bogus website, which looks like the real PayPal or eBay site, but is actually designed to steal their usernames and passwords.
Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos, believes it is up to users to protect themselves from these sorts of scams.
"The reason why the phishers focus so much on PayPal and eBay is because they are so popular around the world. Although bank customers also suffer from phishing attacks, they tend to be less likely to have the global reach that these net giants have.
“The best solution is for computer users to be more savvy about securing their identity in the first place, and think before they click,” he added.
I can relate to this , I must get a couple a month , if you get these emails and need them sorting let me know i have an email addy for you.
