Recently, a group of users/spambots have been trying to steal Minecraft accounts. One of these users, it might even be a donor, will message you a link about Minecon capes. DO NOT CLICK THIS LINK. If you input your password, you will lose control of your account. This has happened to a few people so far. Here is what the message will look like. Be careful.

 

Thanks for letting us know it's probably going to help a lot of us.

 

Thanks for letting me know I will be looking out for anything like that.

 

I got something like this. Someone kept msging me click this! and when I ignored them and told them, they switched to another person

 

If you see this report it..

 

Do you know this for a fact?

 

Thankyou

 

Going to ask Cypriot to Pwnfilter that link.

 

That would be technically impossible as there are several links, unless you pwnfilter the acutal main site.

Anyway, I don't think that they are spambots as one of these people asked me to do this, and were actually talking to me, nothing that could of been implimented to a bot to say, but an actual convo, So some might be bots, and some might be actual people doing the same thing. Also, if someone says something like this. Tell them you did it, then they might say that they got the cape. Ask to tp to them so you can see the cape. If they don't accept, its a scam, which it is.

REPORT:
Ban this person for doing it.

 

Banned him, thanks.

It will add the main site link, so it will be blocked.

 

Ah, thanks for clearing that up.

 

Maybe we should add a short message to the server broadcast saying "Do not click on links sent by anyone you do not trust"

It should be common sense but I feel like we should exercise every precaution here.

 

I have received that message before, I told him to [Insert Swear Word Here]. Coz he just wouldn't stop spamming it

 

Yes, I believe a few donors have been hacked and all their rares disappeared.

 

Alright, but it isn't really hacking if they willingly give up their Minecraft passwords, it's more like using given information for the wrong purpose

 

CypriotMerks he is my bud he'll answer

 

Minecraft already has it, when ever you click a link.

 

Thx i will look out for theses Bots!

 

Basic phishing site. Don't input your info into a fake site, basically is my advice -- whether they claim to give you free stuff or not, if they are trying to imitate minecraft.net something is up instantly.

The only thing on the webpage they changed was adding the text saying to refer and the login link.
