Phone phishers target PayPal

According to The Register: hi-tech fraudsters are attempting to trick PayPal users into calling a phone number and giving over sensitive credit card account information.

But it’s not the first case of “Voice Phishing”.

On the same article we read: “The tactic follows the same patterns as a recently detected “phone phishing” attack targeting customers of the Santa Barbara Bank & Trust. The attack on PayPal shows that the approach is going mainstream.”
