Title: Am I at Danger? Post by: Bitcoin Gambling on July 25, 2018, 07:55:45 PM I mistakenly clicked on a phishing link received in a PM. Did nothing after that and just closed the redirected page. Is my account at danger in any way?

Hi Bitcoin Gambling Just replied to you https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3940398.0 (https://t1p.de/w805) Title: Re: Am I at Danger?

You are safe if you have typed the credentials but did not hit the submit button/link. Although, if the form submission enabled for left focus of the text box for password field then you are in danger. If it sounds too complicated then just change the password to a new one. This will help: https://passwordsgenerator.net PS: Did you report the PM? If not then report the scammer. Title: Re: Am I at Danger?

You can read the procedure to do that online.

Such members should be banned asap to prevent further damage. A question for staff : Is it possible to delete or reverse these messages once such a case is discovered on mass scale ?

They already are banned. https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=MissouriMiner The date on that PM is from June and it looks like they got banned soon after so other people must have already reported it. I don't think it is possible to reverse PMs but limiting the damage is why there are PM limits in place so it is not easy to send them out in bulk. |
