New phishing method.

Recommended Posts

Hello fellas, just to make you all aware there has been a new hijacking method to get hold of your steam account and other personal accounts. This new method involves getting scr file downloads of people requesting you to view their screensavers or other stoof.

 

Either way, another reminder to never click any links. Even from your friends, always double check.

Screensavers. Oldest trick in the book. So old a lot of kids probably won't realise the danger! blink.png

well, I've never come across this sort of method. Then again this came from a well known friend, I normally ignore all invites.

Yeah, .scr links are pretty suspicious. They almost 100% of the time hide a program within that tends to love trading away all your items within a second.

 

I'm surprised Anti-Virus companies haven't marked the entire file extension as incredibly suspicious, if not malicious.

They're using a puush look-alike now, so beware of it folks, you might click on it w/o thinking...

They try so hard, it's funny.

They succeed so often, it's not funny.
