I just received a new kind of attack in my email. It purports to be from PayPal, and states that they have found a problem in my account. I “need” to download their “Safe tool” to correct the problem.
I know most of you don’t know what a keylogger is, but this is likely to be one. Every time you enter anything, it transmits every keystroke to the person who has this bit of malware on your system. If you buy anything online, they have your credit card number.
Some “Safe tool”, huh?
If you get something like this, forward the email to spoof@paypal.com (or if it’s “from” eBay, spoof@ebay.com), and then delete the puppy from your email.
Hugs,
Me
Thanks for the heads up!
Yikes! Thanks for the heads up!
