EVERYONE - ATTENTION! Please Read! - UPDATED

[SKD]

Bans are being lifted now. Please change your password as soon as you have access!

Yesterday I recieved a PM from sara (hippieatheart), asking me to join the ker-razy group. Upon clicking on this link I was redirected to a freely hosted website that looked like a login for the hipforums. Anything typed in would be accepted and would re-direct you to the group you thought you were going to.

IF YOU typed in your username and password, please CHANGE IT NOW!

People's passwords are being phished just like Sara's was. I am talking to her and she did NOT send the PM.

I reported this to skip yesterday, he replied to me, but I was banned when getting on today.

The link that we were being redirected to is no longer working, but this can still go on if the person creates a new one.

FROM SKIP: If you clicked on that PM and entered in your password, you need to contact me via email from your registered email addy. Include your date of birth to verify your identity and I'll give you a new password to login. Write to skip at hipforums.com

i didn't even type that. i got the same pm from somebody saying that.. so i joined the group and now i guess my account is sending out the same messages?
Id go in a change your passwords... someone might have fished yours and Now Im going to change mine... Since my wall blocked it. It might be a hacker loooking for shit. easy to do. Since the user password was needed to get in.... tracking can be done on key strokes that way...
Just being paranoid? IDK.. I dont underestimate the internet,... :D
