In the regular flood of phishing emails coming to our spam traps, this one, using eBay as the target is worth the mention as it was possible to trace the attack to the possible attacker(s).

The email message arrived formatted as a standard eBay message from a fake seller with a request for an answer. Naturally, the link in the message pointed to a compromised web page with a fake eBay logon screen.

A further visit to the link left by the attacker reveals a vaguely graphically interesting site of an Algerian hacking group “Algeria Security Team”.
