Internet for so long, all kinds of scam have seen a lot. Has never been stolen QQ number, or other accounts. I turned the boat in the gutter today.

That's what happened. MSN last person plus me, is a foreigner. Because my live account was auctioned on ebay, I thought I was in touch. Passed the verification. After she had a chat with me, she told me to send me an invitation letter. Let me check it out. I checked in the mailbox and found a message from Microsoft (@micorsoft. com). But the language of the Mail can not understand, not English. I asked her what language it was, and she said it was Spain. Then tell me to copy the connection in the letter. At that time I was a bit suspicious of phishing sites or malicious connections, not daring to point. However, she said to replicate her past, I think there is no danger to do so. Then, the other side has no reply.

In the evening, suddenly my MSN prompts to log on another machine, then drop the line, and then log on the wrong password. I was at that time Gedeng, go to live website retrieve the password, the result, the question has become English, it is obvious that the password retrieve information has been changed. was completely stolen.

I think about it, my machine never disorderly software, not disorderly on the site. It's not supposed to be a Trojan horse. And the machine just had to redo the system for very long. To think about it, I felt the letter was strange. Look at it carefully. Finally got it.

The other way to steal a number is simple. This letter is indeed issued by Microsoft, but is a live mailbox retrieve password mail, that is, to their own mailbox to send a password change letter, in the forgotten password to retrieve the option (personally think that this function is really superfluous, the password is forgotten, but also to the mailbox letter what use). However, she chose a live web site in an obscure language. In this way, I can not read the mail, naturally do not know the content of this letter. When she got the connection I sent her. It's easy to get rid of the password.

Indeed, the stolen experience was disgraceful. There is no technical nature at all. But it's still in the middle of the trick. My girlfriend complains that I'm not wary of people. Hey, there's no way. Luckily, the mailbox is free. If you lose it, you'll lose it. This time we share the experience and hope that we can heed the lesson. Be careful not to show the connection addresses of unknown messages that others have received themselves.
