Elance User Data Accessed without Authorization
I checked my mail and I got a disturbing message from Elance, apparently, someone was able to access confidential user data without authorization, some would call this hacking. I would like to commend Elance for informing us and sending us a holistic and informative email wherein they inform us of what happened, what they have done and what they will do.
Phishing Email
I checked my mom’s email account and I found a seemingly legitimate email from Yahoo about deactivation of unused or inactive accounts. The email ask that you reply to the mail and input your username, password and other info. After seeing this, I immediately knew the email was for phishing.
Yahoo or any legitimate organization will never ask for your account details. Specially your password. The from email seemed to be legitimate as it had a @yahoo.com domain but, when you click on reply you will see that the recipient is already a @gmail.com account. It is very easy to spoof a from email address but the source of the Phishing email must input a valid email for the reply to, this is also another thing to look out for.
Also in the inbox, a legit email from yahoo will always have a Yahoo logo beside the from name.
If ever you encounter such, forward it to phishing@cc.yahoo-inc.com for Yahoo users and fillup a form for Gmail users http://mail.google.com/support/bin/request.py?contact_type=abuse_phishing.
