And the winner is...eBay

We often get asked which company is targeted the most by phishers.

Not surprisingly, the result is PayPal (28%), followed very closely by eBay (23%). Taken together---since, after all, PayPal is part of eBay---this means that eBay is the victim of over half of all phishing attacks conducted worldwide. A whopping 51%.

What's the extent of the damage to eBay? Its reputation and its method of communicating with members are both in jeopardy. Anytime its members get an e-mail from eBay or PayPal, they will worry whether or not it is real. This is going to make it very difficult for eBay to legitimately communicate with its nearly 100 million users, which can't be a good thing.
