I thought the war over this virus has already ended. Yeah I’m talking about that virus slash worm that redirects you to a phishing site that scans for the cookies saved on your browser, therefore rendering your personal information at risk.
The last time I received something like this was like around last year, errr I mean last 2 weeks ago, so yeah right, last year *LOL*
I was even amazed by the tactic, I was even expecting some more but none came. I thought the Friendster team already did something to remove that comment virus / worm that redirects to a phishing site.
Then today I was bombarded with around 5 of those comment virus / worm, the good thing about it was that I have my comments on moderation mode so those comments did not even had the chance to be shown on thru my profile page on Friendster.
From my honest opinion, the only thing to prevent your information from being phished out is to be vigilant at all times, internet can be a very useful and friendly tool for you to use, but once you make a mistake, it can become one of your worst enemy.
On the side note though, mahiina ung diskarte nung nagpakalat ng comment, mas mataas ang click through nung click icon ng parang sa youtube kesa ung words lang that says “click to begin” haha, talk about making something wrong a lot more wrong. *LOL* Pero diba, you’d be more tempted to click a picture like that below because of the “play” button.(credits to Donser for this pic)

[...] This is just a “beware” post. I might be fishing some users looking and researching in Google about this kind of email, making sure that this mail was indeed genuine. If you were that person or individual well then read this. THIS EMAIL WAS A PHISHING EMAIL, dont ever click the link on that mail since it just leads to a Phishing Site. [...]
