Title: Spam or Forum Feature ? Post by: S_D on January 14, 2017, 06:27:05 PM Hey everyone,
Please refer this image http://lookpic.com/O/i2/1362/gVA4bXpI.jpeg (http://lookpic.com/O/i2/1362/gVA4bXpI.jpeg) This is my outbox & I am sure these weren't sent by me, is this a forum feature? Similar messages were sent to me by these guys. Also I am not sure what this guy is talking about https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1751779.msg17504633#msg17504633 ... Help? Edit: Kind of lost here, am I missing something. May be an admin could help. Title: Re: Spam or Forum Feature ? Post by: longbob72 on January 14, 2017, 06:30:46 PM It's not a forum feature. If you're not the one who sent all those phishing PMs then your account is compromised. Change your password and scan your PC for malware.

Change your password. And does that mean their account is compromised too? Coz I did receive same messages from them. Title: Re: Spam or Forum Feature ?

And does that mean their account is compromised too? Coz I did receive same messages from them. Exactly same? Check the link very carefully and report those PMs to admins if they're a phishing links. Actually check the link of your sent PMs too. I sort of automatically assumed them to be phishing links because of this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1752318.0). Note that it's using an I instead of an L in bitcointaLk.org. Don't login from the links btw. Title: Re: Spam or Forum Feature ? Post by: S_D on January 14, 2017, 06:46:09 PM Its directing you to

Or you can post the screenshot first of their PM here to avoid confusion. Have you changed your password yet? You should do that right away and don't login from links that you received from some stranger. Title: Re: Spam or Forum Feature ?

Man this coll down timer to post new messages and login is getting on my nerves. Title: Re: Spam or Forum Feature ? Post by: S_D on January 14, 2017, 07:21:24 PM So this is how this system works.
A message is sent to someone seemingly directing someone towards some post in this forum but it hyperlinked to a phishing site which asks for login. Thus stealing your ID and password. The first message I see was sent by miracl12. Title: Re: Spam or Forum Feature ? Post by: Lutpin on January 14, 2017, 07:59:59 PM The first message I see was sent by miracl12. The user was nuked/banned since.Man this coll down timer to post new messages and login is getting on my nerves. The timer is what kept your account from spreading out way more of those phishing PMs.I'd say that's a good thing. A message is sent to someone seemingly directing someone towards some post in this forum but it hyperlinked to a phishing site which asks for login. Which you did, right?Remember, internal links have always green highlighting on hover, that's how you can ensure you stay on bitcointalk. Title: Re: Spam or Forum Feature ?
