another PSA

Another attempt at eBay account information theft is going around, just FYI. I got an email today from "aw-confirm@ebay.com" with no subject, telling me my account information couldn't be confirmed and that I should click on a link and log in to update my account information. One of the many, many benefits of having a mail client that does not display HTML at all is that it's obvious immediately that the URLs are not pointing at eBay (it's some weird link through Hotmail with a bunch of encoded stuff I didn't feel quite like deciphering yet). If you get a similar email, make sure to check the headers and where the links are pointing.
