This is probably hacking (phishing) attempt to steal your password by fake Cantr login page. If you logged by this page, then you have to change your password immediately.

Someone please explain this to me, it hasn't happened to me, but are you trying to tellme that someone is going through all this trouble to get my Cantr password so they can make my characters do funny things?

Maybe someone wants to have your charries give theirs all their worldly goods?

Sav, could you explain the relevance of your post to me, I don't really understand exactly what is going on with it. I know I probably just misread it, but humour me please.

That's the whois information for the site the phishing email directs you to. The Whois database stores contact information about who manages a web site.

I would give fairly good odds that the person listed as the 'technical contact' for that site is the person trying to get people's passwords. It's possible that I'm incorrect, however.

[ed] P.S., if anyone has header information from an email such as this, I'd be interested in taking a gander through it.

Gotcha, I figured it was something of the type.

I'll contact with one of its victims.

Just to note, we have no player by the name Seth Edwards, nor anyone with his email address.

Posted: **Thu Oct 13, 2005 1:52 pm**

No no, Seth Edwards is not suspicious

... He's a web provider. We have clearer indications of who is behind this and the ProgD is a few steps ahead of this thread

... We're just warning people about this site, but we're also investigating of course, behind the scenes ..

Ehh? What kind of web provider uses AOL as their contact email?

Obviously he is not l33t.

Ah, well. Sorry for the confusion from my end.
