MAJOR MSN Phishing Alert.

Post by swbf_lase »

Do not go to any link that claims they have pictures to show you. It'll ask for your Windows Live ID and Password. You enter it and BAM. You're screwed.

If you see that someone has sent you that, DON'T CLICK ON IT!

Thats the thing, you can't control it, it does it automatically.

Just change your live password and you'll be fine :)
