Tuesday 15 December 2015 00:30 CET | News

Customers of the online retail company Alibaba have been specifically targeted with a phishing scam.

The Comodo Antispam Labs said some Alibaba customers have been victimized by a phishing scam where the e-mail uses a spoofed address - feedback@service.alibaba.com – and a message that attempts to get people to verify their account information. The e-mail contains links to a dummy website that asks for usernames and passwords, which are then appropriated.

Comodo said the phishing campaign has been in progress for about a week, but it could not say how many people may have been impacted.
