SKYPE Phishing Attempt
Posted on: Sep 12th 2007 | Posted by: Rolan |
Received an email claiming that it’s from Skype and it wants me to update my Skype profile. It was already suspicious because I don’t think Skype (and perhaps other service providers) would suspend users for not updating their account. It gave me a link to http://cavyg.com/ze4/include/cs/www.skype.com/login454544465646464/index.htm which was “dressed” as https://secure.skype.com/login_update_done=1115487. And that was the giveaway clue.
Curious of what’s behind the link, I clicked it. After the page has loaded Firefox informed me that it’s a possible phishing attempt.
Hmmm… I wonder where they got my email address and if they knew I’m a Skype user or just randomly sent out the email. I already warned my friends about it.
i hate stuff like these. but not as much as i hate ym web in the office right now hahaha . thanks for the heads up, chef.
