All's good on my end, time being. I've passed the warning on throughout my groups and such. I'll edit this if I do receive the message from anyone in the community.

And before you login in with your account and password onto a site... check the address bar.

Another crude way how to check if it's a phishing site is simple by attempting to login with a fake username and password. Then visiting strange sites without turning off javascript (or using NoScript) is a bit gamble to begin with.

Another wave of phishing scams are going out. Watch for any so-called hardware promotions offering a free copy of Portal to Intel users.

Something like this has been going around in another group I'm in as well. I haven't gotten anything from anyone in TFP yet though...

Not posted in a while, I know.

Didymus has gotten his account snatched. :/

Don't know of anyone else on my list that's been hit, currently.
