Phishing attack and/or broken notification system.

Postby TakWah » Aug 14th, '09, 02:19



I receieved the following notification msg, of a thread I posted in and which still exists, upon following the link it, turns out the system says the thread isn't existing, and even stranger no new messages have ever been posted, so either this is a malicious attack or something in the system is confusing things.

All the links are genuine so its not phishing.

I.E. the links do not lead you to something other than talkmagic.co.uk.

The upgrade probably accidentally activated the "watch this thread" setting in your profile. I had the same problem.

Or someone posted a reply - activating your email and they then deleated it prior to you visiting... that can happen with PM's too.... always a fun way to annoy someone lolol... Like a kiddy being told they have ice cream and then eating it in front of them lolol...
