Pink Floyd Veteran Posted January 19, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 19, 2004 they would also have your password... which you use the same one from other sites... they could control those as well :| that is why i never use the same password for internet every site i visit has their own password ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/93631-fake-validation-emails/page/2/#findComment-1619696 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Will keep me eyes open. But don't forget, when you say you can get everything you need to know from the database, is you can't get the MD5 Encrypted Passwords ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/93631-fake-validation-emails/page/2/#findComment-584248236 Share on other sites More sharing options...

john smith 1924 Veteran Posted June 6, 2005 Veteran Share Posted June 6, 2005 I'd just like to alert members to the fact that we've noticed a recent batch of spoof emails doing the rounds. They pretend to be from support@neowin.net and take you to a 3rd party site. We can only remind members that we NEVER ask for your password. If you do get a spoof email pretending to be from us, we'd love to hear about it. Please PM an admin or a supervisor with the message, and the full headers. The fake email reads : Dear Valued Member,According to our site policy you will have to confirm your account by the following link or else your account will be suspended within 24 hours for security reasons. https://www.neowin.net/confirm.php?email=tom@neowin.net Thank you for your attention to this question. We apologize for any inconvenience. Sincerely,Neowin Security Department Assistant.
