Alrighty, so today a friend of mine said that he thought someone was trying to hack me/him through my profile. He said a window appeared asking for his username and password. When I went to my profile a few minutes later, I got this:  Now, I know this is probably a big 'duh' but I'm pretty much computer illiterate so I have no clue what's going on. I went ahead and made a report anyways as a precaution and changed my password. I feel kinda stupid for being so unsure/confused by this. Discuss: ~The above ~Hacking in general ~Photobucket is my b***h

Don't be embarrassed, it's a scam. I'd been on Gaia for three years when I got hacked like that.

Now that you mention it, this girl left me a comment yesterday.  I didn't think much of it cause I get those random comments all the time and I either ignore them or politely respond. I ignored hers. But if you look at the small text under the comment its the same address in the phishing link......

She could have at least tried to hide that small text better XD
No one has ever tried to scam me
I feel so unimportant XD

Lol. That's kinda awesome. And I agree, she should have tried to hide it better.

people post stuff like this pfishing scam in exchange all the time because its assumed that if you are in the exchange you have a good amount of gold. you just have to report the thread and the person if you can, but yeah, it happens all the time to me in exchange, and ive seen it other places as well

Well, removing the comment from my profile seems to have fixed the problem and she's been reported so I'm not too worried about it anymore. Thanks, ya'll. <3

HEY DO YOU MIND IF I TAKE THOSE SCREENSHOTS TO USE IN A GUIDE ON SAFETY?
I've never seen one of the popups so I didn't have one of those :<
Personal information will be blurbed out of course :3
