Is 1 most gay or least gay?
Phishing is when something tries to steal your login details. Usually done by imitating something authentic to trick people into typing their details into boxes.
1 being least gay
Most legitmate services never will send emails asking for your login details and actively make a point to warn you that they won't. Phishing exploits people who are not aware of this, or that don't pay attention to those warnings.
yeah
They fuck you over
Given that, I don't think in the case of these Skype accounts, that it was phishing, because they're dead accounts that haven't been used. Some I know were abandoned in favor of new accounts. I never understood why people did that.
:/
If you still use Skype (and if you're like me that's because some stubborn friends of yours refuse to use Discord) might be a good idea to change your password.
Ahhh
oh ok
All the malicious links seem to be to a place called baidu.com. So whatever this is, it's from a single source.
That's what I found.
^if thats true i have to see this
"mao is a fat chink"
SOMEONE SAID CHINK WITHOUT KNOWING IT WAS A SLUR TODAY
Hmmm..
O-O
Apparently this has been happening for about a year.
Skype, sucking as hard as it does, hasn't fixed it.
Or maybe they have?
no
and by extent Microsoft
i dont think so
ive had like 4 skypes hacke
sd
which is the company I am a PR slut for
It only seems to be affecting old, abandoned accounts, meaning on computers that are not actively running Skype. So that if malware is using it, they'd be using an old version of Skype.
A lot of people forcibly prevent Skype from updating because the newer versions of Skype are literal eye cancer.
*screams*
I stopped caring how horrible the newest version of Skype was once I moved to Discord.
