Phishing Kit Imitates PayPal

Researchers at Akamai have discovered a PayPal phishing kit that attempts to steal victims’ identities as well as their financial information. The phishing page looks identical to Paypal’s login page, and asks users to solve a captcha before entering their username and password. The researchers note that asking for the captcha can instill a sense of trust in the user, since they feel like the site is asking for security measures.
