Headline yesterday, it's just mass-advertising of a phisher? or what?
Yeah, it was on BBC news.
The thing is they make it out to look like you have to reply and e-mail back your details. Like with the old postal scams.
They always skip over the part that it can be done with a login page the looks identical. If they told people that then they would get less accounts stolen.
At least it's not a server sided hack.

Although, a server side hack, disguised as a phish would be epic win.
Or just someone who stealed the account
I've said this so many times on other forums etc etc. If you fall for a phisher you deserve to have your account stolen. Unless it was a server side hack (and it wasn't) it's your fault.
Holy crap! thats a lot of passwords. I wonder if anyone's ever devised something to figure out the most common passwords xD
Good Info
