WARNING: Potential Phishing Site Selling Books to Access Your Credit Cards

WARNING: Potential Phishing Site Selling Books to Access Your Credit Cards

Image courtesy of Game Pill Learn about online safety from your friends at the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communication Commission. Nasty bit from Kate Douglas’ newsletter this evening about a Chinese website that is selling a slew of her books for really cheap prices. And I thought it may not be only Douglas’ books that may be offered up. My concern is that Douglas mentioned that this is “a suspected phishing site based in China. We’re trying to get them shut down, but if you give them your credit card information, you could be setting yourself up for a lot of trouble. Some of these sites not only steal your personal data, they also plant malware on your computer capable of copying keystrokes and taking password information.” Be wary.
