[cctalk] Re: BEWARE: Phishing

... sorry sent this to soon... Despite what your browser says, the link itself isn't dangerous. Web browsers aren't dangerous. Its USERS that are dangerous. If it’s phishing it its relying on you putting in a password from another site, or in selling you something like e-currency. (bitcoin is down again today) So before touching any high voltage capacitor best practice is to a discharge resistor across the terminals and not rely on time or another person to discharge it. So before putting your username and password into a web site it’s a good idea to check the whole URL matches what you expect. Often such e-mails will try and convince you something is time critical so in this case " expires in 24 hrs time. This is to panic you into not making such checks.... ... personally, I recommend a password manager. The you don't know any passwords and can't put them in by accident, and it knows which passwords match which site URL so it won't put them in a phishing site.... Dave
