Beware of a new 'hacking' method

Post by Lempi »

Silkroad 'Hackers' are going high-tech!

Got this email today:

Image

It is identicle to the official email from Joymax, but you'll notice the link to enter the verification code (bottom left corner) goes to a free hosted site

So yeah, be aware of this method. Anybody who doesnt check the link could get caught out.

I know, but not everybody would check the website link before entering their details... And maybe the concept of email is new to some people :P

Maybe it's joymax which doesn't want to pay hosting service bills so they've moved to free hosting? :D
