Topic: somone is trying to hacxk my account (Read 1009 times)
I know the thread is old, but i just wanted to mention that this site itself does not have to trigger an actual, if someone is going phishing and this is the bait, the user list is easy to download or scrape and no malware, virus whatever used. newbie account most likely mixed in with the others and missed a filtering
That is an riskylink it looks almost the same if original website link. Maybe good idea to show all people of this forum an warning message about the fake emails who got send.
Hacking a newbie account it does not make sense but thanks for the warning man
ah I see
figured he had some how triggered it from the forum
clever
but I assumed if I clicked it I would be confirming a Pass change to a pass that I don't even know
but either way why bother
my account is useless now

Dear amartin99,
For security reasons please confirm your new password: Phising:
I have made no attempt to change my pass
and no I have not clicked that link
I can only guess someone is trying to take over my account and if I click that link they will have succeeded
im not sure why anyone would bother since I have a neg and this account is all but dead
