Dear List;
I have been studying issues first hand on hacking via the Internet
Explorer versus other browsers...Firefox is much more secure and less
hackable. Every common crook has figured out how to hack into IE thus
making it much easier for them to open the door to your accounts. I
rarely use IE, use Navigator for my emails and weather/news, and use
Firefox for my eBay and paypal accounts.
I still very wisely forward each one of those phony emails to paypal and
ebay spoof addresses to keep reminding them to get rid of the holes that
make them so hackable. You should too.
Very best,
Dave Freeman

Hi List. Today I received a phony PAYPAL transaction order of an item
that I did not purchase. Having seen this hacking scam by hackers
using Ebay I was quite shocked that this time it is by using Paypal. I
guess I should not be surprised since Ebay and Paypal are basically
united together. Anyways DO NOT click anything on that email. INSTEAD
go to your Paypal account by clicking on a new browser and log in then
check your history. You will see (I hope) that there is no such
transaction. The fake email try's to get you to click on their site
and let you think your on Paypal (EXCELLENT FAKE!) and then it try's
to get your password ect. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you change your password
while your on Paypal after checking your history as I did.
Thank you.
Sincerely
Don Merchant
