I too got a chat request from said scammer. Fortunately I'm an unfriendly weirdo, so I was like "chat with someone I don't know? Pass!" I didn't even get to the attempted phishing part.

I got a message too from http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198014173011/ luckily I didn't log in, since I've become sensitive to phishing since I played wow.

Internet hiccup or something caused my topic to get double-posted:

Also, Randomize posted the same kind of post right before I did, so I'll leave sorting things out (merging or whatever) in your capable moderator hands, lol:

This was comment was taken from the video that I sent to discussion over at here: http://videosift.com/video/Star-Wars-The-Force-Unleashed-Betrayal-Cinematic-Trailer

The comments below appear to hold true for this version of the video as well.

That's the second time that Game Trailers has asked me to authenticate.

A username and password are being requested by http://cms.gametrailers.com. The site says: "cms.gametrailers.com".

This was the first video to do this to me today. Internetz are saying this bug is 11 months old. I smell bullshit. Gonna black list game trailers.

It's a continues bug that the forums show time stamped in 2009 as well as 2010 Jun 14. I'm just a bit paranoid, that a bug that has been "fixed" keeps coming back.

The link below, is obfuscated it goes to the screen-shot of the pop-up box that I was shown.

So I did some playin around with Fiddler2, routing my localhost traffic through a debugging proxy, and found that clicking on the video sends a GET /moses/ HTTP/1.1, which is something sitting behind the cms.gametrailers.com FQDN; which is why it asks for authentication. It doesn't look malicious, just suspiciously like a Phishing attack.

^ Really? You took the time to create a registration just for this pathetic phishing attempt? Times must be getting tough in mom's basement.

Good job. Congrats!
And good job for sifting all those Grateful Dead and Phish videos!

^sorry, no it's not trancecoach. Have you even been to a Phish show? Obviously not with that name. But I'm not writing to hate. Just get your Phish songs right. :-)

It's the Wolfman's Brother.

I'm very open minded to most music...:)

I did not expect you (Dead/Phish Head to be the tenth & deciding vote on a Gang Starr track - thanks for not conforming to any stereotypes!
