I would know something as wrong as soon as my username/password was not filled in automatically.
Title: Re: mashka90 sending phishing links Post by: dankkk on September 13, 2014, 11:27:49 PM Ah, so maybe they are targeting people who use email to get notifications of PMs received. They would be less suspicious when they are being asked to login if they are not already logged in and posting/getting PMs.

I am paranoid about those kinds of programs as I am afraid that someone could find a weakness in the program and steal all my passwords. |
