ChrisG Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 Best practice is to always type in the url manually or follow your saved bookmarks... Not wishing to give ideas to the phishers but I wonder how long it will be before your bookmarks get hacked by trojans too. I cant see any reason why it wouldnt be p1ss easy to write a little something that searched the default locations for "Paypal" shortcut links and changed the underlying URL to a scam site, how many people actualy check the URL when clicking on their own favourites.

DanB Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 I use SpamBayes as a spam filter. You have to train it on what's spam and what isn't but this doesn't take long, and once it's trained it works well. If you use Outlook you can download an Outlook plugin which means the whole process is pretty seamless. Works for me, and I get about 10 spam/phishing mails on my main account a day. Quote
