Housing and you ( Oh yes a other one of these )

[MilkieTea]

I don't know what this link is, and I won't click it.

And I don't advise anyone to do it. Looks like a phishing attempt to me.

Forum. Square-Enix. Com

That’s what the link is.

If you look at the url of this forum, you will see that it is the same url...
https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/

https is never displayed, but it is displayed with a closed padlock, which means the same thing.
https stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure, without the S you may have doubts

I’d like to expand on this and say if you’re already logged in, then it’s quite obvious what sites are phishing scams and what sites aren’t. Phishing scams can’t automatically log you in, they rely on you inputting your personal information (they “fish” for the gullible in that sense). So 9 times out of 10 they’ll ask for your email, password, and 2FA if you have it. Remain wary of links that you’re not automatically logged in on, and remain wary of links that don’t end in .com, sure.

But I have close to 500 posts on this forum, and quite a bit in the same forum topics as you, Adrameliya. You’d think if I’d been compromised my account would have made a random general discussion post, not a post in a housing thread, in which I am directing people to the housing mega thread (which I’d like to remind everyone to PLEASE USE! It exists for a reason). This is typical behavior for my account, not atypical in the slightest, and the link is an official link. To see all this and add it up to: phishing link don’t click....


Ouch.

Just got miffed lol.
