Phishing

Subject: Phishing April 12th 2009, 12:57 pm

Keep an eye out for anything suspicious happening on CPP. If you are redirected from the Club Penguin Planet website or are asked to log back in again, CHECK THE ADDRESS BAR. The address bar is where you type in the name of the website you wish to visit. If it says something that's not our official website address, it is NOT our site.

Club Penguin Planet is registered on a .net domain name. Any other endings, such as .tk, .com, .org, .com.au, etcetera, are not our domain. We only have rights to the domain name "clubpenguinplanet.net", and no others. Don't let yourselves be tricked!

If you do see a strange link, get off of that site as quickly as possible and clear your private data. If you need assistance with clearing your private data, please don't hesitate to contact us. When you log back into CPP, change your password immediately. While on the alleged phishing site, DO NOT ENTER ANY DATA, such as passwords or usernames. Until we know what this site can do, it's best not to take any chances.

According to Club Penguin Planet member Ace, the following forums may have infected topics:

Chit-Chat
The Rating Room
Contests
Forum Discussion

Keep an eye out for any suspicious activity and report anything strange.

Now they infected this thread
And some others:

The only way to bypass the infection is to
View this site on a mobile phone or iPod ;)

Thanks Egaro.
And also guys, if you want to click a link, first hover over it and look down the bottom at the browny address bar thingy where it'll show the REAL site your visiting.

Kool Kat it happened when you clicked on the topic. There was an unstoppable redirect that brought you to
a login page that looked exactly like CPP's ;)

:sigh: so your saying it wasn't a link that you saw but it was hidden within a forum title?

No you tried to view the thread and it redirected you :(

This is what they want. If you are every redirected to where you have to log in again don't.

Sorry if this is a n00b question, but how do you change your password?
I think i might of posted this on another topic, but i lost that topic.

Subject: Re: Phishing April 13th 2009, 3:12 pm

Go to Profile and under the 1st category, fill in your current password along with your new password and then verify it again in the next box. After that, hit Save and you will have a new password. ;)

Credit to me for noticing it first :P
Lol

I hope we can be alert enough to keep the forum safe :)

Super-Human Posts : 3564 Registration date : 2008-07-29

Actually you found the Signature Phishing first but not the Thread Phishing :P

Forum Legend Posts : 6961 Registration date : 2008-04-06

Oh so there is two. Oh wait the thread phishing has been around for a while. Stupid me XD

I found out when I noticed my sig was gone and I was curious why no one had signatures. I notice the weirdest things.
