Warning about MSN hijacking site.

Kristoph · 13 Jan 2008 at 18:07

Hi, I just received a message from a friend on my msn... it was a link.

http://www.msnliststatus.com/ and a wink emoticon.

I know the majority of people here are wise enough not to enter their details, but some people do these things.

Apparently it hijacks your msn and changes your password - it then sends out the same message. Normally a random name - but a redirect.

Users log in as if they're using a mobile device.

I guess my mate fell for it.

Dont fall for it yourself! I can see this spreading around quite a bit.

My friend is on a Mobile device and never usually is...lol

Kristoph · 13 Jan 2008 at 18:21

Yeah i thought it was weird my friend was on a mobile device too. He can't do that on his phone. Also he normally says 'Hello' first - he didn't respond to any messages from me either.

bet people on this forum don't read it properly and input their details. :eek:

My mate keeps sending me the links every time he logs on, blocked him now. So annoying.

Me: "Why did you enter your details?"
Friend "I didn't know what it was did I"

:rolleyes:

Have an old fake account (don't ask why) and I just put that in. The weird this is, it does actually tell you who has you blocked. Seems right to me, but I can't if it's completely correct.

But yes, the account was signed into as "mobile" and sent me a link with a wink.

Download a freeware version of MSN called Gaim, it shows you if a person has blocked you or not by the tootip in the friendslist. Its how I check anyway.

Edit: called Pidgin now

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pidgin/
