Gmail also hit by e-mail phishing scheme

Hotmail users aren't the only ones who've been hit by a phishing scheme over the past week. Google told BBC News on Tuesday that Gmail users have also been affected by the hackers who posted passwords online.

The problem is far more widespread than was disclosed on Monday, possibly affecting Yahoo and AOL e-mail accounts as well, according to BBC News.

haha,where are everyone that downed hotmail the other day when it was headlined? figures..

SixZeroFour5333d ago

lol...thats the first thing that i clicked on the article to see, the comments...but none so far, guess its still early

Golfcoachh5332d ago

Its sad to see how ignorant people on this site are. They were all over microsoft and hotmail calling on its shortcoming, but now that it has hit the great and all mighty google, that by the way is on a road to "big brother" status with its partnership with the govt., they are no where to be found.

IdleLeeSiuLung5332d ago

phising schemes affect any service. It really preys on peoples ignorance. It is not a system problem. It's a people problem!!!

riksweeney5332d ago

I really don't understand who still falls for these scams. Most of the ones I get are for a bank I don't use, they're badly written (addressing me as Dear Customer) and even if I do click on the link for the fun of it, Firefox flags it as a phishing scam (and when it doesn't I flag it myself).

I'm quite surprised Gmail got caught out, their spam filter is the best I've ever used and at worst maybe 1 legit email out of 500 I get is marked as spam, never the other way around though.

Microsoft's Absurd Antics Have Me Scared For Dishonored And Arkane Lyon's Future

With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.

Relientk773h ago

I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.

I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.

Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄

Bogus!
Why would Sony do that and how would this benefit them?
1) It would piss off their media partners (IGN, Gamespot, Edge, etc.) since they would have to allocate resources fast to cover the event.
2) Risk of not having great coverage or proper coverage from the various source
3) It could give the impression that they are not confident in their own stuff.
4) They would miss the chance to hype the event losing viewers and losing free marketing time.

Again I'm calling it bogus unless it's a small showcase before the big one or because they want to announce that Hellbalde 2 is also coming on PS5.

SlothLordPootus1h ago

As far as I can remember, they typically give a week heads up for these sorts of things.

Lightning771h ago

I was about to say Sony always gives a week in advance for their show.

VersusDMC51m ago(Edited 51m ago)

Last year it was a weeks notice.

https://blog.playstation.co...

May 17th announcement for may 24th show.

Abnor_Mal54m ago

Why would Sony have a show of any size to announce Hellblade2 coming to PS5?

VersusDMC38m ago

Nintendo always tweets that a direct is happening tomorrow but no one cares.

Sony gives a week or days of notice and we get anti sony type fake outrage like this.

But good luck trying trying to get some Sony hate going...

Petebloodyonion13m ago

You just mention it!
Sony gives a week in advance NOT just a couple of days.
So I fail to see what Sony's hate movement I'm trying to start when it's a basic business strategy to not piss off your partners (ask Sega).
And I doubt it's hate to ask how it would benefit Sony in doing so.

Petebloodyonion4m ago

Before I get tons of replies for Sony given a week in advance, my initial comments are related to the notion that the Show could happen this week as the title mentions.
Now to be fair the complete article mentions that Jeff said the Show could happen later in May giving time for Sony to give the normal 7-day notice.

Again not trying to start a negative thing here just thinking that it's bogus that Sony will have a show this week
