Sorry PayPal, the problem lies in how people deal with email, not with the browser. Anyone clicking on any link in an email message is asking for trouble. If you need that link, copy it, paste it, and then read the URL carefully. If you don’t recognize the domain or the directories after it, don’t use it. You can get to the site using your bookmarks to be safe.

I wrote an entry on identifying phishing last year (sorry, it looks like the quiz is gone; you may have to look elsewhere for more information). Be careful out there…
