Hi all fellow Wildfact members,

This is something very important, which I thought of sharing it with everyone.
On 13-08-2014 I received a private message from roflcopters (on yuku), it stated that he wants to make me a Moderator at AvsA and I should post on a particular thread for which the link was given in the message. But I didnt reply or respond to his pm, so I got another private message on 18-08-2014 reminding me of the previous message.
Here are the screen shots of his messages.

When I clicked that link it directed me to a page which requested me to provide login information for yuku, eventhough I have already been logged in to yuku. This is a clear hacking trick to hack my yuku account by getting my login information. Here is a screen shot of the page which requested me to login, check the webpage address. The URL is different from original yuku address but the page setup looked the same.

I messaged roflcopters (on wildfact) regarding this and he provided me the information that his yuku account was already hacked by the hacker.
So this unknown hacker is using Rofl's yuku account to hack other accounts.
So please be careful and DO NOT provide your login info on any anonymous webpage and always check the webpage address.
The hacker can use a webpage setup which could look exactly the same like the original page, but its URL will be different.
So always login from the original site.

A special thanks to Sanjay for helping me out.

Be Safe from Hackers.




Regards

Apollo
