Silkroad 'Hackers' are going high-tech!
Got this email today:
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

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

Tinypic ftw.
Also, not really a new method, but a new method within the method. Kinda.

Not really, ppl try to hack 1 of my spare accounts so I had sht load of jm email in mailbox,
that was back when there was the jm homepage security hole to redirect verification.
