URL of web content

disguised as:
https://signin.ebay.com/saw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?SignIn&UsingSSL=1

Traced to a server in San Jose

RISK LEVEL
MEDIUM
WARNINGS

1. Spoof webpage requests details which are captured and sent to a remote script at http://127.0.0.1:1028/js.cgi. This is the same URL as the recent US Bank spoof.

Traced to a server in England, UK

2. If the window is closed down without entering details, a popup window appears reminding the user to enter details and threatening 'legal action' if the data is not 'verified' (see below). Do not be fooled or scared by this. Everything is a spoof and should be ignored!

3. eBay NEVER send their users requests to update details.

 

" You have received this email because we have strong reason to believe that your eBay account had been recently compromised"...

 

If you have received this email, please remember that it is very common for these email scams to be redistributed at a later date with only slightly different content or the same but with the fake page(s) hosted by a different provider. Also, once you have received one of these hoaxes, it is also common place to receive at least another one and usually a day or two after the first, although not necessarily from the same apparent sender.
