Don't get hacked!

by Johnny Cash on May 21, 2012

Don't get hacked! 

Ben Pernell got hacked last week, and they proceeded to attempt to steal his money.
Read about it here.

Watch out for emails that claim to be from FanBox or Johnny Cash or Yahoo, Hotmail or Gmail -- and when you click the link - it goes to page that looks like Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail or FanBox - but is really the hacker's site.

On that page, they will ask you to sign in.

If you sign-in - the hackers now have your password!  

In the future, when they are ready, they will sign-in to your FanBox account and attempt to steal your money or buy things with it.

So, always check the link you clicked on, to make sure its really the site you think it is.

 

NOTE: They may have already stolen your password and you don't know it yet.

Therefore, I STRONGLY suggest that you do this immediately:

1) Change your FanBox password.

2) Immediately, change your Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail or other mail password, ensuring it is different than your FanBox password.

3) Never, ever click on a link and sign-in to your email account or your FanBox account -- without making sure that the link is actually going to the real FanBox.com or Hotmail or Yahoo, etc.


So, what are you waiting for?

It only takes a few seconds to change your FanBox and email (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc) password - and then you're protected!  DO IT NOW!

I see that situation since last year, when so many risk users tried to send me the links. That's an urgent warning to all of you.

thank you JC.

I am also afraid of being stolen money through PROVIDE, when one click to buy a product, but the seller don't send it to the buyer, so how can to get money return.

FanBox should consider more carefully about the products and services that users sell in Provide. Provide must have a function to keep buyer in safety. And anyone who sell a product on Provide, he/ she must confirm or give credits for that.

We are now live in belief on FanBox, but someone who is not so good, try to steal money from the poor like us. So FanBox should protect us primarily, we believe in FanBox team.

I agree with LE THANH KONG.
So Fanbox should reconsider this type of service.
