PayPal Vulnerability Open To Fraud

PayPal Vulnerability Open To Fraud

PayPal users are cautioned that there is another security vulnerability that has been discovered with the PayPal system.

This phishing technique actually uses a valid PayPal URL and even provides a valid security certificate, but uses an injection technique to override PayPal’s page and redirect to a 3rd-party site. Due to the browser having valid URLs, many could easily be fooled into supplying the 3rd-party site with PayPal credentials, of course leaving them open to being ripped off.
