Scare yourself:

Click on this: http://www.azarask.in/blog/post/a-new-type-of-phishing-attack/
(fear not: it's just a proof of concept by The Main Man behind Firefox)

Open some other tabs. Open a site or two in them. Basically, just wait 5 seconds.

Click back on the original tab.

Observe: your Gmail login screen.

...waiting for your password...

The only clue is the URL.

Scariest phishing technique I've ever seen.

Hello Salty!
Posted by syl, 2 years ago:
 
OMG I just did that.
Posted by syl, 2 years ago:
 
That is VERY weird.
Posted by syl, 2 years ago:
 
Salty how do they DO that?
Posted by WarHead, 2 years ago:
 
What? Oh, the phishy thing.....

Syl, they are VERY BAD, but CLEVER men, and they use interweb magic to steal your gubbins.
Posted by syl, 2 years ago:
 
Damn Nigerians probably. I'm going to Nigeria soon, I'll give them a right ticking off!
Posted by WarHead, 2 years ago:
 
Great. Let us know when you've done it so we can stop worrying about phishing.
Posted by syl, 2 years ago:
 
Has anybody here ever been phished? I think the phishermen know better than to look in MY bank account. (broke)
Posted by syl, 2 years ago:
 
And what are gubbins? *pats pockets*
Posted by WarHead, 2 years ago:
 
Gubbins is .... your stuff/belongings/bits and pieces, that sort of thing.

my yahoo email has sent spam to everyone in my addresbook last wednesday
some of you might have received it
I did not buy an Iphone
I have a lame pre-paid phone

also, I want gubbins now
Posted by beargod, 2 years ago:
 
I saw and it moved it straight to junk, so I don't know if that means that it will move all of your emails to spam?
Posted by Miki, 2 years ago:
 
I hope not :(
Posted by WarHead, 2 years ago:
 
I saw it and assumed it was a spoofed address rather than actual spam from your mail account, so I didn't bother mentioning it - I knew you wouldn't be spamming us.
Posted by Miki, 2 years ago:
 
no, I'm a good girl I am
but it was in my sent items and I got undeliverables back so it was actually sent from my account
Posted by beargod, 2 years ago:
 
Use Linux! :D
Posted by WarHead, 2 years ago:
 
P.S. Miki, you've always had gubbins, you just didn't know it.
Posted by Miki, 2 years ago:
 
Thanks Glinda ;)
Posted by WarHead, 2 years ago:
 
My pleasure.

BTW, do you think my bum looks big in this outfit?

Posted by syl, 2 years ago:
 
Turn around, I can't see your bum.
Posted by Saltation, 2 years ago:
