Hello, I'm an admin at the Anandtech Forums. There is a pretty good phishing scam that is now targeting these forums. Your admins will get a PM with a link in it that looks like an audioholics link. It takes you to a page that is identical to the log in page here - making it look like you were somehow logged out. This phishing scheme is targeting the Admin accounts so they can get control of some of the software & insert miscellaneous code.

Censor
us immigration - services . com (without the spaces)
They have a webpage set up right now for this forum.

You may want to double check your PMs to make sure no one was falling for this yet.

They wouldn't have targeted you though; just those whose titles say admin. They've been going from forum to forum, apparently hitting forums with higher volumes of traffic. I see your admins have the site on the censored list now. We're trying to keep up with the newest sites that are being targeted. If you manually type in the site that I gave above, without the spaces, and .com/1 at the end, you can see the page they set up for the admins here. I can't tell you how many times I've logged in at work and forget to click on the "remember me" box, only to have vBulletin not accept a reply and take me to that very same window. I'm sure they'll be successful at catching some people off-guard.

Tell Anand he is the man. I have read his site almost daily since inception.
