Just a warning. I received an email supposedly from “support@icq.com” telling me to “reactivate my ICQ account” by entering my ICQ number and password in an HTML form in the email.
It looks just like ICQ’s crappy web site. Until I saw that it wanted by # and password, I thought it was official.
Of course, as soon as I realized it wanted private information, I checked the headers, and sure enough it was sent from uchicago.edu. Some little hacker is trying to get as many ICQ passwords as he can.
Don’t give him yours. Nobody should EVER email you for your password. Or phone. Or ICQ…
Don’t be stupid.
I get these two or three times a week regarding Paypal and eBay. My Isp got hacked, and my address is circulating the scammers. It’s a quick forward to the legal department of those sites, who track it back and nail the suckers.
Big Brother is my friend.
