I just clicked on a site that steals your password...

Recommended Posts

but I didn't enter my password, but just by visiting could they put a keylogger onto my computer or somewhat where they can see my password? If so how do I remove it?

 

 

 

Sorry for the topic, but I didn't know where to post it and I am very worried.

Ditto. I am scanning my computer right now.

maybe you should mention what link you clicked on so nobody else makes the mistake?

Rule #1 when fighting hacking: Virus Scans never hurt.

 

 

 

Well I suppose not telling anyone is the first rule, but meh. :P

 

 

 

In any case, i'd suggest doing a scan, then changing your pass to be safe.

 

 

 

I was due for a full system scan anyway. :P

If you entered your password:

 

1.) Log into a non-BH world.

 

2.) Do no log out until you have changed your password and checked that your recoveries have not been changed.

 

 

 

If you can't log in, keep on trying to log into a non-BH world.

 

 

 

 

 

However in your case, no. Unless you download something from a site, they can't give you a keylogger. I've been to every attempted pass-stealing site I've seen on tif to make sure that I am correct in posting a warning message and never had a problem.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However next time this happens I would suggest that the first time you realise it's a hoax, put a message up in size200 font and bold, underlined, and coloured red, warning people.

I was already logged in when I clicked it, haven't typed my RS password since.

Well I entered my Password not even thinking about... and no bank pin either... Im screwed.

 

 

 

Follow my instructions above Kietaro1, and as fast as you can. It may already be too late but it's better than just typing "I'm screwed" in forums.

It really is annoying that you cant put that up at the top of the page. -.-

Stop talking about it and get to fixing it! :?

 

 

 

EDIT: Darn it, Tintin beat me to that last part. :P

Just to let you know, a password change is actually "recovering a locked account". They've already changed your password, know you'll need to wait several hours/days to get it back. Don't worry, I've fallen for this scam before. ;)

I think that site left a tracking cookie so I'd recommend anyone who clicked the link does a TIF and cookie clean-up.

 

 

 

The thing does nothing more than steal your RuneScape account. Trust me, I ran a virus scan right after getting it and their was absolutely no keylogger on my comp.

Only people with an IQ of -1 or less would have entered their passwords on that site.

 

 

 

Rofl! :lol: Srsly, I lol'd... :D

 

 

 

This was actually one of the better attempts at scamming that I've seen too... :roll:

I got a 2230 on my SAT's and I did. It's pretty easy to have a momentary lapse of judgement, especially when the site looks legitimate.

Sorry, the scam is too well known to be considered a mistake anymore. Besides, if you took just a few seconds longer to look, you'd see that some features are missing from the site.

If you entered your password:

If you can't log in, keep on trying to log into a non-BH world.

 

 

 

Good advice, but it doesn't really matter what world you're on as long as you stay logged in.

 

My advice, like everyone else's here, is to virus scan your computer and (if you have it) do a full system scan with Spybot: Search & Destroy.

Is it really possible to get a keylogger just from going to the site...? I've been to loads of these, and this particular one 3 times, never having had any trouble with it.

My statement of "I'm screwed" was because the moment i thought about the different text I knew what had happened. My password has been changed and I have a pending request. That was done all in a matter of less than a minute after the initial mistake on my part. I am not an idiot though I feel about this small

 

 

 

::uses index and thumb to show very small::

 

 

 

at the moment. I guess that is what I get for goofing off on my lunch...
