Help SE make people aware against phishing

[Ifrinne]

As the title says, try to discuss ways in how SE can help make players, mainly rookies, aware of the phishing thats been going on in FF14. My idea is like a big popup that says Warning!! In big red letters and explains about the phishing everytime a player logs in to his/her character that can only be clicked away after a random time interval of 15-30 seconds so that people have no choice but to read it. Do you guys have any other ideas?

It would be nice if this warning pops up when a player tries to copy the link. Most people do not pay attention to fake URLs, so they fall into the trap. I have received such messages many times, stopping and thinking helps a lot.

First rule of the internet, don't just arbitrarily click random links from strangers and put your information into whatever random webpage pops up. Why you playing on the internet if you can't even look at a link before you copy and paste it?

There have been anti phishing campaigns for everything for years and it makes little difference. People still click links and download attachments.

Use your brain to realize it's a scam?

Parents should be teaching their children about internet safety and how to spot scams if they're going to let their kids do anything on the internet unsupervised.

If you're an adult and you still fall for phishing scams, I don't know what to say other than you probably should stop using the internet.

Given how many people fell for it and continue to come to the forums looking for help that's a big ask sadly.

This sounds incredibly obnoxious and wouldn't solve the problem anyway.

SE already has special notices in place, but you can't force people to read.
