Someone got into my ********** account

[Corny]

If you click on some links that are not ********** links, but the website where you download the file from in the end does look like a ********** website. it often isn't one.
I have banned a few people here who didn't get involved at the forums at all, posted 25 random crap posts, and once they had 25 posts started posting porn clips and nothing else. If you see something like that always be suspicious. Especially when they use something like mentioned above. You come to some kind of "link protector" service, and you click on the ********** download - and end up at a website only looking like ********** (pay attention to the url). You enter your account data, the guy running the website gets your account data, and the website directs you to the real download.

Here an example of someone I banned in February:

54MB

download:

[url]http://link-protector.com/x-4520[/url]

Note that if you click on that link-protector thing, you get redirect to an "Black apple host" website. But in the address field it still says "link-protector". Originally instead of the black apple host website you would have seen a ********** website - just that it wasn't a RS website, but a website looking like it - set up by the guy posting the videos here and stealing the passwords. I reported him to black apple host, and they immediately canceled his account. He still might have gotten some passwords out of it.

I just tried to recreate this myself by creating a link using link-protector.com:

1. Once you hover over the fake **********-Login link, you should notice that the address shows a different one in the status bar of the browser.

2. On the login screen, it even warns you about phishing attempts and to check that the address is indeed the correct ********** one.

The status bar, the one on the bottom of the browser. If you hover over a link, it shows the address of it there.

which also can be forged (in unsecure browsers with java script enabled)

You might have to ban yourself for breach of rules for posting erect bits in hot topics
