fake site used to get peoples passwords? - Corigan - 03-13-2013
I went onto discovery forums and loged in, only to be put back to the homepage not loged in. when I inspected the url I found out it was http://www.discoverygc.org/
And as we all know the forums url is
http://discoverygc.com/
If you click on register on the fake site it stays .org, probably to get your email and hopefully your email password. but if you click like a topic it sends you to the real site. reminds me of the runescape fake site they use to get your password. looks exactly like the real thing. topics, posts, links and all. (each takes you too the real forums ofc)
It's clever. people wouldn't take notice of a change of com to org.
Changed my pass.

From the looks of it the site uses a bot to track the forums every few minutes and post it, to continue fooling people.

That's phishing site.
Avoid and be careful. I just have Disco Forums in my Favorites to get to quickly.

No, it's us. We have both domains I'm told.
Although I'm bothered by it saying I logged on but not logging me on. Leave it be. If I just got trolled and as a result someone gained my admin password it will serve my peer right as I'm not changing my password heheh.

how do we know you're not a pod person from the other site posing as Prowler?
::I'm afraid paranoia rules!!::

Hey, notice that it has a different picture icon than the usual white "V". Instead, it's a blue little globe.

My .com domain is the orb and the .org domain is the V for me. Cache setting aren't worked out for the domain nor is there a need.
