'eBay' phishing scam targets iPhone 4S buyers - GMA News Online - The Go-To Site for Filipinos Everywhere

'eBay' phishing scam targets iPhone 4S buyers - GMA News Online - The Go-To Site for Filipinos Everywhere: "Looking for a cheap Apple iPhone 4S via online bidding site eBay may become a costly experience, no thanks to a new phishing attack discovered this week.

Computer security firm Trend Micro said the attack can fool potential buyers into giving out their online financial credentials to cybercriminals.

"The fake eBay pages are hosted on domains that are followed by /www.ebay.ie/ in order to trick users into thinking that it is the real eBay domain. All the links in the fake page will lead to the legitimate one, except for the 'Buy It Now.' Clicking 'Buy It Now' leads to a fake login page that asks users to enter personal information," it said in a blog post.
