Hey everyone,
In a way this is hunter related, but more FYI.....
There's currently a fake "Wrath of the Lich King Beta" invite going around. DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINKS WITHIN THE EMAIL. It looks very real but is designed to snag your account info and next thing you know your toon is nude standing in the middle of town with no gold left in the bank. Or has been moved to another server with all logins changed. How I know you ask? Have a friend that was hosed by one.

That being said... Why... would you ever... click links in your Email...

This coming from a Network Vulnerability Aggressor, NEVER click on links in an email.

If you get a notice from a site saying "Hey this has happened to your account, click here to fix!" Go to the site without clicking the link, and see if it is a valid request.

Very true! I work for a ISP, and have gave him pure hell about clicking on it! Never click on a link in a email unless you are 125% sure it is safe, then double check it before hand. LOL... I see many many emails going through our spam filters each day with "your account has be accessed by another computer, click here and login to check it" or 'your bank has logged account transactions not matching your info, please login" or buy these pills for a bigger staff..?! sorry wrong email... Anyway never click the links!

ahhh crap! I got a email fomr my "bank" saying my account would be closed if i didnt login to do somethin, i clicked the link being skeptical, but i could tell it wasnt my bank site, so i closed, i hope it didnt install a keylogger... I cant believe i did that. How can i make sure nothing was installed?

The fake bank sites are using an example of phishing. They wanted you to actually enter your account info basically handing it right to them. Chances are you are ok but that's not 100%. People should know by now that their bank will NEVER ask for secure info like this.

Really makes you think twice about everything these days.

If you think you aren't being watched...look again and look harder....

I have noticed that I have been recieving an increasingly larg amount of Spam in my Junk Mail folder since I got the premium account package here on the site. It all has the ***SPAM*** on both ends of the title, denoting it came from the Allah mail serv.
