The connection to the website is encrypted, but you are right, it's not like pre HTTPS badness

I assume the good ol' E-Mail Spam Business is still going strong and getting stronger. If more people make business online, the more will fall to the "there's a problem with your account, please re-enter your credentials" bait.

I've even seen phrases like: your account may have been compromised, please enter now your credentials to fix the problem and add a laver of protection to your privacy.

In the last few weeks, I got the same "your account is on hold" ( font in google colors ), always from a different sender, multiple times a day ... Flagging these as Spam has no effect.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
