Beware: Fake Adwords Phishing Page

There is a report circulating that, earlier this week, there was an Adwords phishing page being advertised on Google, under the search term...you guessed it...adwords.

The page being advertised was, in fact, a phishing page, used to capture the username and password of unsuspecting AdWords advertisers. Users were taken from the ad to a site that looks just like the actual AdWords login page.  Once you submitted your precious username and password, it would then redirect you to the true AdWords login page...but the redirect would only happen after this phishing site has already stolen your login credentials.

To their credit, the page seems to be gone from the ad listings now, but use caution, just in case it resurfaces.  Always check your URL and make sure you are on the REAL Adwords page.
