eBay Boobie Prize

Security Monkey over at ITtoolbox has posted about an eBay phishing scam that will strike paranoia into the hearts of bidders. The item in question was listed with a picture of a topless model, which would increase the chances of it being clicked on. The seller then included some Flash in the listing that redirected the user to their own web page, which funnily enough looks just like the eBay log on form.

As Security Monkey points more and more users open links in a new tab, and this hack actually takes advantage of the page not being immediately displayed. An eBay item that flashes up with a description and then immediately disappears only to be replaced with a log on form would be suspicious to most security conscious people.
