    Default Malicious Links

    Today someone posted links here on the forum that seemed to take you to forum threads. If you checked the links carefully, you would have noticed that they directed you to a slightly different website (evony spelled with a different starting letter) where your forum login information was phished before you got redirected.

    Anyone who clicked on one of these links, please IMMEDIATELY change your forum login email and password. You can do this in the User CP (located on the left side of the toolbar at the top of your screen). I would also recommend, if you use the same password in-game, that you change your password for the game as well, and for any other website that you use the same email/password combo. Pay special attention to sites like paypal.

    We believe we have searched out and removed all the malicious links, but please exercise extreme caution in the next few days about clicking on any links at all. If you hover your cursor over a link, the bottom left of your browser screen should show you the actual address linked. You can also hit the quote or reply buttons to see the link and whether it is disguised to look like something else.


    IMPORTANT NOTE: Nowhere on our forums do we store your personal, financial, or game data. The only threat you may face if you clicked on one of these links is with regards to having the same login and password at other sites.

    A few people had their accounts compromised in this manner, and we have banned those accounts for their own security. If you have had your account here on the forums banned today, and you don't know why, please contact myself or one of the reps via a new account or by email and we'll help get you sorted out.

    P.S. Please DO NOT post the name of the phishing site. We don't want anyone else to fall prey.

    Changing your password should be enough, but changing the email isn't a bad idea if you want to be sure you are secure. And I am not entirely sure of the time frame.

    You'd think sticking this or making it an announcement would be a bit smarter...

    Thanks for your input, BBQ, but we've sent out info on Twitter and Facebook, and we think we've contained the problem. Besides, you were a mod. You know nobody reads stickies or official announcements!

    Well just saying, people like me who aren't following evony on facebook or twitter wouldn't even see this notice if it had fallen off to page 2 or 3 on the threads. I'm pretty sure when I was a mod, the announcements and stickies always got a TON of views really fast.

    But hey, it's your prerogative. Not my call.
