yeah, I got that link of Russ and Chicken and though I'm not so bothered about Russ, I really hope chicken gets his account back and the hacker gets his head beaten with a <LOOK MA, I AM SWEARING>-off big hammer... |

Just out of curiosity. Do you have to put in your steam details or does it install a key logger? If the former, the morons deserve to get their account hacked, if the later that's actually a pretty smart virus. |

Post subject: | Re: Steam Phish Attempt |
AFAIK, you have to enter your details. I've heard the "drunk" excuse already. What I don't get is why would anyone think they need to loging to Steam to watch a frag vid |

Providing login details to view a video is wrong. |

I'm assuming he means we get websites to remember our logins and steam to auto-login...but I can't be sure |

Post subject: | Re: Steam Phish Attempt |
so how does it actually get ya details do you have to type them in? |
Author: | Wynney [ Mon Dec 29, 2008 10:21 pm ] |
Post subject: | Re: Steam Phish Attempt |
does this one need you to enter the correct details? ive known some peoples accounts have been hacked writing incorrect details such as buggeroffyouhacker noob as user name. my steam automatically logs in, but i dont save passwords for anything else, too risky! |

Post subject: | Re: Steam Phish Attempt |
i still havnt a clue how they do it |
Author: | Skillers [ Mon Dec 29, 2008 11:09 pm ] |
Post subject: | Re: Steam Phish Attempt |
Well, they join a big group with a new (empty) account, start adding people from that. They send the message to 100 people, a couple are going to fall for it. They then have 100 friends each, etc. Sad, but true. |

Post subject: | Re: Steam Phish Attempt |
thats just childish do they do it just for the games or do can ya make money out of it? |
Author: | Skillers [ Tue Dec 30, 2008 12:16 am ] |
Post subject: | Re: Steam Phish Attempt |
Erm, either to get the games for a short period or sell the accounts to gullible people, who lose them after a week when the account is recovered. |

Post subject: | Re: Steam Phish Attempt |
Its so they dont have to rebuy the games when they get VAC banned |
