I woke up this morning to an incoming chat request from a member of a group I'm in and was delightfully surprised by a phishing site. This is just an alert to the people who don't yet know what a phishing site is or does. Phishing is the process of attempting to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication.
Be on your toes, there are some sites that will steal your password. Stray away from sites with endings you don't see often like tk and .co.at.vu.
Facepunch doesn't care about this any more. There's threads like these any day. If people still get scammed by this now a days, it's their own stupidity.
We don't need more threads on this.
Holy crap! My friend sent me that and I was about to do it!! Thanks for the quick save, a+ thread.
To be honest, if anyone ever tells you to log onto any website, they're probably trying to take your shit.
I've lost 4 steam friends to phishers :frown:
Also, this has been going on since the cavemen were around, so I'd hope that people kind of know not to fall for this.
Still, it must really suck if you do get your account stolen.

I don't care whether you don't want to see this thread or not. Some people still don't know that its dumb to click every link you see.
If none of you enter, it only increases my chances of winning :smugspike:

Let them find out the hard way. It's common sense, like not getting in some stranger's car when they tell you they have ice cream, or not believing the Nigerian guy's cash prize as he tells you on the phone.

I understand your point, I just don't like to be a jerk.
Would you let your kid "find out the hard way" and get kidnapped before you told him?

Told him about what? Him being kidnapped?
Have you reported the site to steam? How about the the site to the host? I would record the guys steamid and his steam page and send that to steam. Also let the hosting company for the site know that they are hosting a phishing site. He'll have it back up and running in a half hour but atleast you let em know you care.
I can't find the place to report it on steam.

Don't waste your time. Even if he does get someone's password, they can easily get it back through Steam Support.
Firefox flagged it
EEEEEE!!!!!

I thought all the dumbshit hackers had given up
