PayPal Security Flaw Allows Identity Theft
miller60 writes "Phishing scammers are actively exploiting a security flaw in the PayPal web site to steal credit card numbers belonging to PayPal users. The scam tricks users into accessing a URL hosted on the genuine PayPal site, which presents a valid 256-bit SSL certificate confirming that the site belongs to PayPal. However, some of the content on the page has been modified by the fraudsters via a cross-site scripting technique, and victims are redirected to a spoof site that requests their account details."

I've been working on this for years now...decades actually....but now I'm totally protected from people stealing my identity and ruining my credit. Here's how I did it:
I've personally destroyed my credit so badly over the years that if someone were to steal my identity, the joke would be on them! Hell, it may actually even help my credit.
Oh sure, people laughed at me over the years...but who's laughing now?!! Ok....so they're still laughing at me...but that's beside the point.

I also believe that children that don't learn to swim by the age of 4 should drown. Forget that the ARTICLE THAT THIS DISCUSSION IS BASED ON has nothing to do with children drowning, those dirty little swimless fuckers need to drown.
Wow.
You are one seriously hard headed, self important fucker.
I thought that cats like you pretty much faded away with the end of the cocaine drenched 80's.
Want to point out how I'm not making any sense? Tough. You're a bone head. My point stands.
So it's what, identity copyright infringment?
They're there affecting their effect.
I meant to say spoof@paypal.com.
Sorry, I must have been hit with the stupid stick today.
