If Wishes Were Phishes
CoreStreet has officially released SpoofStick, a free anti-phishing utility for IE and Firefox today. Here’s the press release and previous discussion on this blog. The quote from Carol Baraoudi, super-perceptive author of the multi-million selling Harry Potter The Internet for Dummies books says it all:
“I love SpoofStick,” said Carol Baraoudi, CEO of Baroudi Bloor International and author of the Internet for Dummies. “E-mail fraud is on the rise—innocent people are being duped every day— it makes me crazy. SpoofStick lets you see just where you're being taken - in every sense of the word. I want the world to be using SpoofStick. I want everybody using SpoofStick today!”
Some great press and blog coverage so far. I’ll round up the best in the next few days.
There isn’t anything new, so if you’ve got the latest beta versions (0.06), you don’t need to reinstall. Otherwise, download SpoofStick.
Enjoy.

Look what I found today in an email from "service@paypal.com"

I'd like to send this to PayPal security but, they don't make it easy. In fact, the way they have set up their submission form (no contact e-mail!?) makes it impossible for me to forward the email source.
Well, that secures them from being annoyed by problems.
