Today when I check my spam box in Gmail, I got an email from Paypal. But, why it got trapped in my spam box? Hurm…it makes me curious to check what goes wrong.
When I opened the email, I smiled. He3. It was a fake email. It is not from Paypal but from a stupid person who want our Paypal account. See the image below.
It is true that the email logo is Paypal. But when I read the email carefully, it is pronounced PayPalr not Paypal. And when I mouse-over the login url, Opera displayed a hidden link which is it is not a Paypal login url.

Well, its kinda weird when I first read the article about the contest. And the prize will be a fully loaded MacBook Pro.
The organizer, CanSecWest, will host two MacBook Pro computers with default Apple installation. And the first person who can break into the system with their unique exploits will bring the computer home.
The contest will take place at the CanSecWest conference in Vancouver starting April 18. And I’m wondering if any Malaysians want to participate in the contest.
