Phishing at PayPal
I received a very real-looking email from PayPal with the subject line: “PayPal Notification: Payments and Statement”. The crux of the message was they debited my business account for $32.00. No reason given.
The link to view my Account Summary contained paypal.com but hovering my mouse over it showed it went to somehost.lan.io domain…obviously a fake.
The email was forwarded to spoof@paypal.com which brought a quick reply saying the email was, indeed, a spoof and they will take care of it. This event goes back to one of mysecurepc.com’s tenets: do not click on any email link.
