dangerous paypal spam fraud

There is very authentic spam email prompting folks to update their paypal info. The html source code of the privided link gets a lot of paypal.com web pieces, but when you log into your paypal accounts, if you even have one, malicous code will get your paypal info. The htmp source code looks very authetic.
This fraud is been spammed to email addresses. Some of these addresses will be to folks who do have paypal accounts. This is a fishing expedition.
When you click the link in the spam email, in the website that gets opened up, the address bar at the top will not show a paypal address but something else. I traced one of these addresses to a zombied unconfigured and unpatched APACHE web server in Japan. I expect that there are many zombied web servers in use for this around the world. The owners of the systems have no idea that their systems have been taken over.
Anyone who is not suspicious could easily have their paypal account taken over.
