/u/magnora7 - Is this for real? If this is some kind of attack it's next level. I got this private message today, copypasted in the entirety, and I've tried to replicate the formatting and copied the links (I also have a screenshot I'll add).

I got one as well. Didn't follow any links but I did change my password (figured it couldn't hurt)

Do you use a password manager? I went through all my old passwords after an attack on my phone and changed them all, used a password manager to make ungodly complicated individual passwords for each site. It does occur to me however, there is one major point of vulnerability there.

Who doesn't use a password manager? This looked like a saidit attack though so I didn't do anything beside change my saidit password.

I didn't always use a password manager, when I was younger I was much better at remembering them. Then for a while I kept an encrypted file with a password list, not so different from the function of a password manager but locally.

Yeah, this was just a lame phishing attack. I'd be surprised if it worked on anyone.
