a classic password phishing
here is a spam mail that I got today ......
Dear Amazon member, - A recent change in your personal information (i.e. change of address)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/css If your account information is not up-to-date, your account on Amazon will be terminated. | ||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||
Thank you for your time! |
If you buy this and click on the link that is provided, u'd be taken to a site which looks exactly like the original amazon.com sign in page (here it won't work as I just pasted the text). careful ones would notice a different address in the address field but most don't.
remember, don't even click on the links sent in an email. instead check it up urself.

kaathukittu irukannunga.. eppadiyellam SPAM mail anupalammnu!!!!
I don't touch these sort of mails.. just by looking into the subject, I delete them... accidentally I might have opened some.
I am getting very scared these days, I get a few emails like this now and then. OF late from EBay or some fake website..which sends fake mails..!!
I don't even open it.!! Like you just said.!!

one of my colleagues also got a similar email. but luckily he did not get fooled.
scary!.

These emails are..well..elementary. More serious phishing attacks are being discovered or atleast being potentially talked about. I read somewhere that the next "big" attack would be to take over the name-servers on the Internet routers. Then, the router will do the task of re-routing you to the wrong website, with us being completely unaware.
