[Mccoypottery-talk] Ebay Spoof

[Kevin Reffitt]

By clicking on the link, you launch a "background trojan".  You don't have 
to enter a thing in the form...that's not what they want.  You now have a 
silent program running in the background, that records your local 
keystrokes.  This information is continually sent to the remote system, and 
they glean all kinds of sensitive information about you from that.

Your friend NEEDS to clean her system...NOW.  Everything she types is being 
watched.
