PSA: Phishing Bots

Closed
Tactical

Should go without saying, never click a link from a person you don't know. Don't know why I've suddenly become a target but this is the 3rd attempt this week on me by a phishing bot. The link was very similar to a legit steam community profile, just 1 letter off. Anyway, stay safe!

They've been around for a while. A very simple way to 100% block them is to simply ignore all invites from level 3 and below accounts. Also has the added benefit of saving you from a good amount of beggars if you get those. :p

So just by clicking on it they get your log in details? You're not asked to type them in?

If so, wow, never knew that was a thing so thanks.

I don't think there's a risk if you don't enter anything, but the website might have drive-by malware, so you probably want to avoid it anyway.

something made me think it was "Please stand aside" but then I realized it never made sense for forum posts
