Dear Costumer,

We recently noticed one or more attempts to log in to your account
from a foreign IP address.

If you recently accessed your account while traveling, the unusual log in
attempts may have been initiated by you. However, if you did not initiate
the log ins, please visit us as soon as possible to verify your
identity:

http://eralaban.pcrent.com.mx/ssl/webscr/index.htm

Verify your identity is a security measure that will ensure that you are
the only person with access to the account.

Thanks for your patience as we work together to protect your account.

Sincerely,

------------------------------------------------ ----------------
PROTECT YOUR PASSWORD

NEVER give your password to anyone and ONLY log in at
https://www.paypal.com/. Protect yourself against fraudulent websites by
opening a new web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer or Netscape) and typing
in the URL every time you log in to your account.

I know what it is, and I really can't believe there are people who fall for it.

I get those mails too, and I don't even use PayPal. :o)

eehm.. quite obvious?

Some lowlifes are hosting a paypal look-alike site on "eralaban . pcrent . com . mx".
With this email they try to lure people into logging in on that page so they can "steal" their paypal accounts and use that to log in on the real paypal site and empty their accounts.

I get these all the time, from eBay, PayPal, banks I haven't even ever heard of, you name it. You can easily recognize them by looking at the URLs, they're mostly something like:

-http://- h4x0rsz.co.th/www.paypal.com/cgi/webscr/do?action=phish

Also, without exception, they use poor english. I've been getting hundreds of these "CONGRATULATION!!!!! U HAVE WIN!!!!!" emails :D

v2.0?
Parent

Ronner 30 Nov 2006, 17:30
v1.5.0.8

Can't update the one at work yet since I need it for compatibility testing on our projects.
Parent

overdrive 30 Nov 2006, 17:34
[jewmode=ON]so by the time the site gets released its compatible with the new browser everybody is using?[jewmode=off]

Ronner 30 Nov 2006, 17:42
Hardly. Most large corporation and institutions have long loooong updating cycles. Take some of the dutch ministeries for example. Tons of the users over there are still having flash player v7, while v9 has been out a while already.

Besides that, clients simply want their products to be compatible with the current versions and 1 or 2 versions before that, meaning that I have to keep 1.5.0.8 as well for testing purposes ;)

Flash is a nice, but very irrelevant example. :D

I have just only this year started working on W2K and we still haven't replaced all the NT servers. On my W2K workstation I still have Office 98. I still have to use ZIP discs for some file transfers as NT of course doesn't like my USB stick. 'Nuff said? :p

Don't forget the occasional Nigerian bank president who has some funds frozen and needs your help to get them free.
