 Sorry for the cross-post, and off-topic at that, but:

 This morning I received a very authentic looking email from
 info.paypal.com, claiming that Paypal wanted me to update my browser.
 (Really.)

 It had my name in it and all the right graphics and colors and everything.

 Except that the from site was info.paypal.com (whoever they are: hint
 - not paypal.com) and the links all had long obfuscated links in them.

Did the link really go to info.paypal.com or was it just a link
formatted to look like it goes to info.paypal.com e.g. a
href='somedubious.domain.cominfo.paypal.com/a ? Which is the usual
case.

Otherwise, it would indicate that Paypal has been compromised.

Incidents like this should be reported to sp...@paypal.com and to 
reportphish...@antiphishing.org.
