AN HTML INJECTOR exploit that attaches itself to MS IE 7 (under Windows XP and Vista) is believed responsible for a wave of phishing attempts on visitors to popular sites including PayPal, eBay and a number of financial companies including banks. A Yahoo search shows plenty of other PayPal users experiencing the same exploit.
Norton and AdAware scans fail to detect any malware and DNS hijacked has be discounted since the problem only occurs with IE. Firefox is unaffected, as are Mac OS and Linux OS users. Also read the Tamebay update for more the latest details.
