"Log-In" is a link that you would click on taking you to a site that is monitoring you as you enter your Login ID and Password. After they obtain this information they are able to use your Authorize.Net merchant interface for whatever purposes they choose to. Please do not be fooled.

The biggest give away that the email is not valid; nowhere do they state, within the context of the email, that they are Authorize.Net. Instead, they refer to your account as your "Authorize online service". There is no official logo signifying that they are Authorize.Net or a Cybersource company. Authorize.Net/Cybersource will identify themselves correctly in every email.
