PSA- Mass Hijacking ongoing

Thanks, but 1 2.

Seriously, if people aren't smart enough to not check for an SSL connection when logging in to website, they deserve all their internet valuables stolen.

There I said it.

had same thing happen to me on tfoutpoast someone pasted this but i seen the link and reported him

We could just make a thread that says "PSA: Don't be stupid and use your head" and then we wouldn't need all of these additional ones.

Thanks for the warning! Keep this at the top so others can see it.

PSA- mass user stupidity ongoing

Well, I feel bad for people who get scammed like this, but I make it a habit not to enter any sensitive information from a link I click.

Folks better wise up, I guess.

If it's such a notorious IP (assuming it isn't spoofed or a proxy) can't you just report it to the cyber/fraud division of a law enforcement agency (google provides several including ones for the UK and the FBI

One question... How do you pronounce "hijacekr"? :P
Thanks for the head up but I already know about it. ;)

We should all go on the link and enter in bogus information.

You should probably not post the actual link. Yes, I know in the context of this topic it's basically posted with huge flashing DON'T CLICK THIS on it, but seriously... people are stupid. Someone's bound to at some point.

Why do people always use these threads to jerk eachother off over how smart and l33t and unhackable they are lol

Thanks for the heads up.

I posted the same thing two weeks ago

Oh well, at least people know now :p

I thought you can't directly trade when you log in from unknown machine - even after you enter Steam guard codes?

Im wondering how people can enter on suspect links from unknown people rly.

"Just a PSA, mods, please don't punish me, but this is serious."

Why on Earth would we punish you?

Is it just me, or the very long and having lots of easy to imitate letters link to the actual steam community makes it very, VERY easy for hijackers to make phishing sites? I have seen probably 10, if not more, different variations of phishing links, and this is mostly due to the elaborate steamcommunity name in link.

Its far harder to make a hijacker site leading to gogle, goggle, yaaho, and idk what else because they keep to small words without much to improvise in terms of letters. But how many times I have seen staem, comnutiy, conmunity, steem, sleam and idk what else is just hard to imagine.

So imo, to make the life of a hijacker harder, Steam need to change their steamcommunity link to something else, but ... I assume that will require quite a lot of server migration and other web dev things I dont really understand. But yeah, make sure you read the steamcommunity link you are clicking very well several times before you even open the page.
