1. Comment - eBay Redirect Becomes Phishing Tool

   (Mar 4, 2005 - 4:00 PM)

   Responding to BarryW's comments about an eBay phishing link which connects to a China (PRC) address:
   
   We have gone so far as to filter (dev/null) all email coming from, or containing links to, sites in China (PRC). Where possible/practical, we also use our firewall to block browser access to China URLs.
   
   As I suspect many of you know, that country takes virtually no action against spammers and others Net scam operators.
