Don’t click on links in email

If you needed anymore proof to not click on URLs in emails read this story. This story talks about a flaw in SSL (the secure protocol used be websites) that allows a hacker to fake a secure website and your browser will not warn you about it. Meaning, they can have a secure site that looks like PayPal and the security certificate will not come back as invalid. If you get an email from eBay, PayPal, etc don’t click on the link. Go to the site directly (for example, www.ebay.com) after you login you can find any messages that they want you to see. That way you know where you are logging into.
