There is a very active ebay phishing attack going on. I have never used ebay or paypal. However, I went over to ebay one day to see what it was. Note I did not login or do anything really. That very week I received a phishing attempt which, unless someone can argue differently, must have been coincidental. I went to the ebay site and reported it and deleted the mail after some communication with them. They know about the problem. The attack came through a email address known only to my relatives. I received another last week and just deleted it.

MBNA has a feature that I like for dealing on the internet with credit cards. They will generate a fake credit card number for you that you can set to a maximum value and set a time limit that it is good. Since I always pay off the card each month, I don't mind the higher interest on this card.
