I just received the following private message from user MikaelAngelo:
The link text appears to go to bitconitalk.org/index.php?board=83.0 but in fact directs to this page (do not click without reading first):
http://bticointakl.my-board.org/1/Login.htm
This page is skinned to look like the bitcointalk.org login screen and is an obvious attempt to scrape passwords.
ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK THE URL BAR BEFORE LOGGING IN TO ANY WEB SITE.

Be careful where you mine and exchange bitcoins for money. Most mining pools are a scam, bitcoin exchanges too(they will hold your money for months), look in the scammers section and see for yourself bitconitalk.org/index.php?board=83.0
