PayPal e-mail advisory

I've noticed several e-mails claiming to be PayPal requests to confirm or verify account information. Both of these contained links to sites other than PayPal, which would presumably exploit recently disclosed IE bugs that allow a site to masquerade as another site. One did a very clever job of pretending to be PayPal from the E-mail header.

Please, if you're going to do anything with PayPal, don't just click on the link in one of these e-mails. Go directly to the PayPal site-- type the URL into your browser.

Stay safe out there, it's a nasty Internet these days.
