All of the domains involved just happen to be registered on markmonitor by PayPal. Really doubt this has anything to do with phishing. 2013/8/13 Jeffrey Walton <noloader () gmail com>
It looks like Paypal has suffered a break-in and phishing attempts are being made on its users. Time to sell you stock (or buy it short) for the immediate future. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jeffrey Walton <noloader () gmail com> Date: Tue, Aug 13, 2013 at 5:25 AM Subject: Re: [cryptography] Paypal phish using EV certificate To: Peter Gutmann <pgut001 () cs auckland ac nz> Cc: cryptography () randombit net On Tue, Aug 13, 2013 at 5:10 AM, Peter Gutmann <pgut001 () cs auckland ac nz> wrote:I recently got a another of the standard phishing emails for Paypal,directingme to https://email-edg.paypal.com, which redirects to https://view.paypal-communication.com, which has a PayPal EVcertificate fromVerisign. According to this post http://www.onelogin.com/a-paypal-phishing-attack/ it may or may not be a phishing attack (no-one's really sure), and this post http://www.linuxevolution.net/?p=12 says it is a phishing attack andthe sitewill be shut down by Paypal... back in May 2011. Can anyone explain this? It's either a really clever phish (or the CAsarefollowing their historically lax levels of checking), or Paypal hasjoined theranks of US banks in training their users to become phishing victims.If that's true, I think the more interesting fact is: it appears email-edg.paypal.com is controlled by the attacker. Why else would Paypal redirect from a host in their domain to a host not in their domain controlled by the adversary? (Its a bit different than standard phishing training where both hosts/domains are controlled by Paypal). Has Paypal fess'ed up to any break-ins or breaches?
