Hey peeps just a little note to yall about hackers on the net just be careful while you surf the www. Got this from another forum i'm on. just wana share.
Phishing is the practice of illegaly obtaining members usernames and passwords through use of links.
What happens is, somebody leaves a link on our site, you click on it, and the link asks for your user id and password, you put it in, and you may have just sent your info to a hacker, who can now take over your account (extremely bad scenario, is if a mods account is phished, the culprit can mass delete all threads, cause love etc.)
Therefore, whenever you click on a link, look at the bottom bar of your browser and make sure the site name matches the top address bar, if it doesent, someone is trying to get you.
also try and use different passwords for your different applications, e-mail, photobucket, ebay, etc.
Watch out for links, and watch out for phishers
stay safe and stay alert.
yea-uh peace ;D
