    Hi there. I know the stream in question. I've not watched XIV streams for very long, and didn't realise it was an impersonation of the actual legit person. I also generally watch certain types of stream with chat off, so didn't realise that either.
    I didn't check the url after clicking the link. Definite naivety on my part, but I *immediately* changed my password after doing the, what I now realise is a fake 'log in'...

    Is that enough you reckon, to make up for doing the major dumb? Again, definitely my fault, and my naivety on that one.... But yeah... Immediate password change to something very different in length and content, and the like... Or is the scam stronger than that and able to dig deeper?


    EDIT:
    I also changed pretty much everything in my account, like secret passwords, email addresses...
    But: Would a phishing attempt like that have immediate and complete access to all your data upon confirming the passwords and stuff? Would it immediately have access to *all* the information?

    I feel very stupid, never fell for something like this, but I was definitely not focusing or thinking.
