PayPal users are under attack by worms...
Guys,
Here's some interesting info.
PayPal users are under attack by an increasingly sophisticated series of e-mail worms.
The most recent mailing, sent Feb. 10 was full of spelling errors. With the subject line "PayPal Account Manager," it read: "PayPal has just finish our lastest breakthrough in customer server. The PayPal Account Manager. With this program, you can now have LIVE 24/7 support with aPayPal Tech Support Operator. We hope this increases your PayPal experience."
Attached to the message was a compressed file called AccountManager.zip, which contained an executable file that installed a program to surreptitiously intercept and log keystrokes on the user's computer (in order to steal passwords and other confidential information)...

Bye,
