[Full-disclosure] Another PayPal phishing scam



Today I received a fake message pretending to be from PayPal Security
Center. The most intersting thing is that I don't even have a PayPal
account.

The fake PayPal link points to a possibly compromised server in Spain
(http://217.11.100.3/~cs/paypal/)
