Submission + - Scam autopsy: EBay auction phishing (kelvinwong.ca)
brainhum writes: "Unlike the email-based scams most of us get everyday, this phishing attack starts as an authentic eBay auction.

A low-priced 'Buy it now' auction provides incentive to submit credentials to the phishing site. This is a short blog article on it with screen caps. Mirrored here as well."
