eBay, PayPal Users Hit Hardest By Phishing


Three out of every four phishing attacks target users of online auctioneer eBay and its electronic payment system PayPal, a security company said Thursday. Of the phishing e-mails captured so far in 2006 by U.K.-based Sophos' network of spam traps -- often called "honeypots" -- 54.3 percent took aim at PayPal users and 20.9 percent tried to dupe users of eBay.
