Got a fake E-Mail from E-Bay this morning saying they are now partners with Yahoo and they wanted me to change my passwords with both.I wonder if they really think somebody is gonna fall for that one.

Send them a reply with fake information. Two can play that game.

They are beyond amateurs - they left their
crontabsPhp schedular wide open and not password protected that was forwarding all the responses if any(never know it was well done-lots of bridges still being sold) from the server to their PC's I overwrote their settings and left them a little message.
But their probably not bright enough to figure it out.

See it http://63.104.239.199/phpcron/phpcron_admin.php?admin_subpage=Control_Panel

Mind you they put a lot of work into the page.

Sorry this was meant to be posted to the Really well done fake email but I will leave it here its good for a laugh.

Just little note Neonmania:

when you reply to an email like that they then know that yours is a good email address and add it to lists that they sell - your better off never to reply unless you want to be spammed to death.

I had a trojan horse virus on AOL a few years ago that came in the form of a very authentic looking popup that requested me to change my AOL password. I called AOL on the phone and described it and they said it was a trojan horse virus and the only way to get rid of it was to place phony info in the form and send it. In the box for new password I wrote "FBI-is-watching-you".
