Email security issues

  • From: Adi Linden

Hi,

Is there a place to discuss and find solutions for email related security 
issues? 

I've just receives a nice email from my banker (ok, it claims to be from 
my banker) asking me to visit my banks website and confirm my email 
address. This email is by far the most convincing piece of fraud I 
received to date so far. The URL loads up the bank page plus a popup 
provoding a login. Looking at the source of the popup it revels that it is 
positively not a legit source and most likely used to harvest peoples 
access information.

Thoughts?
Adi
