Craigslist account holders beware - Phishing Alert!

If you have a craigslist account you may have received an email notification about your account suspension. The subject line may read as follows: Account Suspension Notice.

It seems to come from Craigslist.org (accounts@craigslist.org) where in fact it's a spoofed email.

If you click on the link in email you will be taken to a phishing site: http://www.craigslisites.org/mycc/accounts/myclacc=/index.htm


Not surprisingly the screen you're looking at, seemingly resembles craigslist's account log in page.
