Ugh, not another one. I work for Thawte and we’re thinking that keylogging and phishing scams will only get more popular as the holidays draw near and people become willing to type their personal info into online boxes to ensure that presents arrive at their destinations on time. It’s quite unfortunate that Facebook and Twitter don’t have extended validation ssl implemented, since the loss of “green” in fake urls would be a pretty good tip off. Either way the advice above is excellent, and one should also never use the same password for multiple sites and applications if they can help it — one slip could give hackers access to everything.
