OK, then you, personally, don't fall for it. But enough people will that the game economy will crash and playing XIV will feel like XI before the Special Task Force, thus ruining your gaming experience regardless of your savvy.

People fall for these ruses all the time. Attackers keep doing it because it keeps working spectacularly, and the rewards always far outweigh the effort. S-E had to implement the Special Task Force and push these security fobs on us because far too many people weren't as secure as they thought they were. And, if given half a chance, the RMTs will do their best to make it happen all over again. Going from a security measure that is completely out-of-band to one that is more connected is a step in the wrong direction.

Just because you haven't heard a peep from the Cylons for a few decades doesn't mean it's OK to let the leggy blonde have access to the mainframe.

And if you really are a super-1337 hax0r posting from behind 7 proxies who doesn't have to worry about these risks, why are you even using the token to begin with? It's not mandatory.

It works on uneducated people, at school I hardly learned about the possible attacks on PCs, I am interested in computers so I researched them myself, people who haven't learned about them fall for it, but I believe this type of education is standard in schools now because of the risk in it all.

The main people to fall for this sort of "ohai gimme your login details" emails is pentioners, because they are for the most part completly un-educated, the main way of getting login information is because people download programs which contain keyloggers, the standard phishing is going down because people are not falling for it as much as they used to.

Normal common sense and anti-malware are gradually winning and hackers are forced to revert to other methods.

And I don't hide behind 7 proxies, I have anti-virus, anti-spyware and a software firewall, when I get the money I may get a decent hardware firewall as well, but not right now.

I am educated I know what the risks are and I try to prevent those risks, as of today I have never had a security breach on my laptop or phone and hopefully I never will, if I do I will get rid of it as soon as its detected.
