Hi, I was one of those affected by the email/paypal leak and I have just received an email with a link to a spoofed paypal website requesting my login & password for paypal. The email is as follows:
Dear PayPal user,
Your account has been flagged in our system as a part of our routine security measures. This is a must to ensure that only you have access and use of your paypal account and to ensure a safe PayPal experience. We require all flagged accounts to verify their information on file with us. To verify your information, please click here.
Thank you for using PayPal!
----------------------------------------------
Paypal have confirmed that the link is false & that they did not send that email. So please advise everyone.
If you use Firefox as a web browser, you can install an extension called, "Spoofstick", which will let you know the true address of the web page you are viewing.
