Anyone ever do a rollback? I got phished..

[Divinemights]

I've gotten tells of this sort at least three times already. I have ignored them and will continue to ignore them. However, is there nothing that SE can do to stop this vile activity?

Do you thinks police in real life can do anything to stop telephone scam?
You know, those with google voice telling you have trouble with law, parcel not pick up, etc etc.
Yeah , i don't think so

I've fallen victim to a phishing attempt myself. Not in FF, but honestly, where doesn't matter. It makes you feel like a royal idiot.

No matter the company, no matter the user-support dedication, it takes an unknown amount of time. There's an amount of human interaction they need to do with you that ties everything up. Even restoring/rollback is all human interaction based. That's an expensive manhour cost and they have to spend it.

Best thing you can do is enable two-factor. The tedium of it ensures an attacking vector can't take advantage of you. Make sure you're not lazy either by doing an auto push. Manually enter that number every time.

I myself just fell victim to a phishing scam - sent a whisper about a big gil giveaway, enter on the forums... I 1000% know better but I must have had my stupid had on today and fell for it. I have two-factor authentication enabled - OTP, I generate a token on my smartphone- but the hacker was so fast they were able to log me out and steal my gil before the token changed.

Just having two-factor authentication enabled doesn't protect you from being stupid. Only smartness and vigilance does that.

And I'll never fall for a scam like this again, but yes, I dayum well do feel incredibly stupid. Started the rollback process immediately and hopefully it won't take too long.
