Phishing Warning!

Please try to refrain from using download links that are protected or using any kind of link shortening service such as:

http://link-protector.com/857667/
http://tinyurl.com/dhfews and etc

I saw many of these links and they were phishing sites. Basicially when you add your details it will automatically be sent to the person who made it.

When downloading or using your user name make sure it’s on the correct site, for example Rapidshare.com could be easily mistaken for Rapidshare.fr.com (which could be a phishing site). When ever you are typing any important details please make sure you type it in the correct site.

When you type in a password for important sites such as Rapidshare, PayPal, Ebay, Internet Banking and etc you will see a lock symbol near where the loading bar is.

This means that the site is encrypted, so it makes sure unauthorized people won’t see any details. Make sure when you type in passwords in places like Rapidshare or PayPal you see that lock, if not then don’t sign in.

Change your password very often. Make them long and not guessable, click Here for a password generator!

If you have any doubts that you have typed in your passwords in sites like these you should change your password immediately.

Please note that i am not saying all these links are phishing sites. To be on the safe side i recommend you not use them as there should be links without these protectors.

Solutions

• Change password regualy
• If you know you used the “Save Password” option on the browser, don’t retype you password on download pages, instead go to the official homepage and type it there.
• Use download managers that grab the links and download them automatically, for example IDM, type in your username and password once in the options and it will download links without you typing passwords again.
• Adding more soon…
