mattking45 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Please check this out. I look at my notifications and some guy gave me a link to Dropbox so i can download something. This is a bigger problem than phishing. Here a link to my profile so you can look at my comments and youll see it. [Link removed] Is anyone else getting this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Python. Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 When you click on it, does it ask you to download it or do you have to enter your user and pass from Steam? Either way, I never download anything I know isn't safe or type in my password Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattking45 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 i clicked the link but i didnt download anything. Im scared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex From Security Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Its the same way I was hacked just way stupider. You wouldn't get your stuff back from steam either. Report and move on. Actually, if that link is in your history can you send it to me? Might help me in my case against valve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooden House Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 So, how many threads in the last week or 2 has there been on phishing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, if that link is in your history can you send it to me? Might help me in my case against valve. That link shouldn't really be helpful since Valve should have access to the chat log between you and your friend where he sent you that link.

@@@@@@ Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Uhh, yes. Yes it pretty much is. phishing is the act of attempting to get the information to hack someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Uhh, yes. Yes it pretty much is. phishing is tricking the other person into giving you their information--i.e. no hacking whatsoever. You "physically" hand the phished your info. Hacking, the hacker takes advantage of an exploit/virus/other malicious software to run on your computer and either track keystrokes (key logger) or grab all pre-entered information. They're quite different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
