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 Smile
PHISHERS ON STEROIDS!?
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
That's scary bro...
